Vancouver Whitecaps and New England Revolution will be looking to maintain their recent good form as they meet in a cross-conference MLS clash on Monday. Both teams have had similar campaigns, recovering from slow starts and there appears to be little to separate them.
Vancouver Whitecaps are in good form and have fully recovered from their poor start to the season. They have won four of their last five matches across all competitions and are only outside the playoff places in the Western Conference due to Seattle Sounders’ superior goal difference.

Vancouver Whitecaps have also been almost unstoppable at home in recent weeks and are unbeaten in their last six matches across all competitions at BC Place Stadium. Vanni Sartini’s men have claimed five wins in that run, including a 2-1 victory over Real Salt Lake in their previous MLS fixture in front of their fans.
New England Revolution are having an almost identical campaign with Vancouver Whitecaps and are showing some good form at the moment after also recovering from a poor start to the season. However, unlike their hosts, they are in the playoff places in the East, sitting sixth on the table.
