Vancouver have been in really weird form lately and are now coming off yet another bad loss. They will return home for their next assignment, where they will host San Jose on Saturday. San Jose are coming off a great win in the California Derby against the LA Galaxy.

Vancouver (4-10-8) were really bad in their away match against New England, where they met a really bad 0-4 loss. That was their fourth successive loss and they have won just once in their last 12 matches (1-5-6). Vancouver are sitting at the bottom of the Western Conference with 20 points, as many as Colorado above them. The Whitecaps have not been anything special at home either (3-4-4).
San Jose (9-7-4) did a great job in the Cali Derby against the LA Galaxy. They have now won four of their last five matches. To be more precise, they have lost just two of their last 12 matches (7-2-3) in all competitions. San Jose have climbed to the 5th spot of the Western Conference with 31 points, two behind Minnesota United. They have not had it easy on the road so far (2-4-3), scoring 12 goals and conceding 17 in the process.

Vancouver are now undefeated in the last five matches against San Jose (3-0-2) but kept just a single clean sheet in the process. Vancouver have also been tremendous as hosts against San Jose over the years (8-1-3). But San Jose usually score in this venue, failing to do so on just three occasions. This looks like it can easily have goals from both sides and at least three goals.
