Vancouver Whitecaps and Colorado Rapids set for stalemate

2012

Next up is an all-Western Conference clash between 9th placed Vancouver Whitecaps and 11th placed Colorado Rapids at the BC Place Stadium with a precious three points at stake for both teams heading into this encounter.

Vancouver Whitecaps bring a 4-match unbeaten sequence into this Saturday night fixture having registered a 2-1 home win over Dallas along with points picked up with draws against Sporting Kansas, New York Red Bulls and Toronto.

Overall form at home has been inconsistent for Vancouver so far this season as the hosts have recorded 3 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses, but things have improved in recent times at their BC Place Stadium.

The hosts have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 6 matches at home which was a 1-0 defeat to Atlanta United, but recent wins against Portland Timbers and Dallas along with draws against Philadelphia Union and Toronto should give Vancouver confidence of getting something out of this encounter.

Vancouver forward Montero (5 goals) looks the most likely to notch for the hosts here.

Although Colorado Rapids occupy a lowly second from bottom position in the Western Conference, the visitors bring a 5-match unbeaten sequence into this clash, which includes winning 4 of these last 5 matches overall.

Wins against LA Galaxy, Columbus Crew, Cincinnati and Minnesota United have moved the visitors within just 4 points of 7th placed Real Salt Lake, and they’ll be hopeful of taking something out of their trip to Vancouver this Saturday night.

However, before we get too carried away it should be noted that Colorado Rapids have managed to register just 1 win out of their 7 away matches so far this season which was a  1-0 win away at LA Galaxy.

The bigger picture also shows that Colorado have registered just 3 away wins from their last 27 matches on their travels in the MLS, so they don’t possess a great record on the road away from their Dick's Sporting Goods Park.

Therefore, the best that Colorado can seem to hope for here is that they nick a point in a draw here, and as Vancouver’s overall form at their BC Place Stadium has been inconsistent, a stalemate looks to be on the cards here in Saturday night’s clash in British Colombia.
