Vancouver Whitecaps and Toronto have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Major League Soccer.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

This pitch has artificial turf, which is not Toronto's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf Toronto have performed like this: Played ten matches resulting in 2 wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats with the goal stats 12-20 (scored/conceded). It's quite the trip for Toronto when visiting Vancouver Whitecaps as the cities are 4200 kilometers apart.
