Vancouver Whitecaps
The "Blue and White" are battling for a playoff spot in the MLS and currently sit fifth in the Western Conference standings. After 25 matches, Vancouver Whitecaps have accumulated 41 points, securing 12 wins with 8 losses. Vanni Sartini’s side is seven points ahead of 10th-placed Austin FC.

In their most recent match, FC Dallas hosted Colorado Rapids and suffered a 2-3 defeat. Before that, they secured a 4-3 away win against D.C. United. However, they had previously lost twice, to St. Louis City and Juárez, in the Leagues Cup.
