The Vancouver Whitecaps host Dallas at the BC Place Stadium in the MLS on Thursday, with both sides having contrasting seasons so far.
The Vancouver Whitecaps are currently bottom of the Western Conference, having won only two of their 10 games so far this season. Vanni Sartini's side have been in decent form of late and are unbeaten in their last three games across all competitions. They will hope to carry that momentum into the game against Dallas on Thursday.
Dallas, on the other hand, are second in the Western Conference, one point behind Los Angeles FC at the top of the table. Nico Estevez's side have been in great form this season, having lost only two games so far this campaign. They will look to go to the top of the table with a win against Vancouver on Thursday.
Both sides will be determined to win the game for different reasons and that should make for an interesting matchup.
