Vancouver Whitecaps
The Vancouver Whitecaps are currently experiencing a mixed run of form, sitting in 7th position in the league with 47 points from 30 games. In their last six matches, they have managed only one win, accompanied by four draws and one loss, indicating a struggle to secure victories. Their defense has been relatively solid, keeping three clean sheets and conceding an average of just one goal per game. However, their offense has been equally conservative, scoring only six goals in the last six games. Notably, 83% of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards low-scoring affairs. The standout game in this period was their 4-2 loss to LA Galaxy, which was uncharacteristically high-scoring compared to their recent pattern. Despite the lack of wins, the Whitecaps have shown resilience in avoiding defeats, with four draws in their last six matches.
Seattle Sounders
The Seattle Sounders have shown a resurgence in form recently, winning three of their last four league games after experiencing two consecutive losses. Their defensive prowess is particularly noteworthy, with three clean sheets in their last six matches and a low average of 0.67 goals conceded per game. The Sounders' 4-0 victory over Columbus Crew stands out as a high-scoring game, contributing significantly to their impressive goal difference of +5 over the last six matches. Despite their current 5th place position in the league, the team's recent performances suggest an upward trajectory, with a tendency towards low-scoring games as evidenced by 67% of their recent matches featuring under 2.5 goals. The Sounders' ability to bounce back from defeats and maintain a solid defensive record could be key factors in their push for a higher league position.

Recent home/away form
Vancouver Whitecaps
The Vancouver Whitecaps have shown a solid defensive record in their recent home games, with four clean sheets in their last six matches. While their offensive output has been modest, averaging only 0.67 goals per game, their defensive prowess has kept them competitive, conceding just 0.5 goals per game. Interestingly, all of their last six home games have seen under 2.5 goals, highlighting a trend of low-scoring affairs at their home ground. The team has remained unbeaten in their last four home matches across all competitions, showcasing resilience with two wins and two draws. However, their goal-scoring ability seems to be a concern, with no particularly high-scoring games in this stretch and both teams scoring in only 17% of these matches.
Seattle Sounders
The Seattle Sounders have shown impressive away form recently, winning four of their last six matches on the road. Their most notable performance came in their latest away game, a resounding 4-0 victory against Columbus Crew, which stands out as a particularly high-scoring encounter. The team has been prolific in front of goal, scoring 12 times in these six games, averaging 2 goals per match. Defensively, they've been solid, conceding only once per game on average and keeping two clean sheets. The Sounders' away games tend to be high-scoring affairs, with 67% of these matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Their current run includes a streak of three consecutive away wins in Major League Soccer, demonstrating their ability to perform consistently well on their travels.
