New England Revolution v Vancouver Whitecaps FC — Vancouver will be looking to pick up their first win of the season

Vancouver host Dallas at BC Place in the MLS on Saturday, with both sides having contrasting starts to the season.

Vancouver are currently 12th in the Western Conference and are yet to record a win in the league this season. Vanni Sartini's side will be going into the game off the back of a 5-0 win against Real Espana in the CONCACAF Champions League. They will hope to take that momentum into the game against Dallas on Saturday.

Dallas, on the other hand, are currently third in the Western Conference, three points off the top of the table. Nico Estevez's side will be going into the game following a 3-1 win against the Los Angeles Galaxy last time out. They will look to continue their good form with a win against Vancouver on the weekend.

Both sides will want to climb up the table with a win and that should make for an interesting matchup.

Dallas are 12th in the league in xG with 2.6, having scored three goals so far this season.

Vancouver vs Dallas Prediction

Both sides will go into the game on the back of a win and that should give them momentum heading into the game on Saturday.

Deiber Caicedo and Cristian Gutierrez will both be unavailable for Vancouver due to injury. Meanwhile, Dallas could be without Paxton Pomykal and Marco Farfan, with the duo carrying knocks.

It's difficult to choose between the two sides based on their recent form and that should come to the fore during the game on Saturday. We predict a tight game, with Dallas coming away with a slender victory.

Prediction: Vancouver 1-2 Dallas
