The Vancouver Whitecaps host Minnesota United at BC Place Stadium in the MLS on Thursday, with both sides having solid seasons so far.

Vancouver are currently eighth in the Western Conference table, a point below their opponents. Vanni Sartini's side have been in good form of late, losing only one of their last eight league games. The Whitecaps will know that they can potentially end the night fourth in the league with a win against Minnesota.

Minnesota are currently sixth in the table, with a win potentially taking them into the top four. Adrian Heath's side will be going into the game off the back of a 1-1 draw against LAFC last time out. They will look to bounce back with a win against Vancouver on Thursday.

Both sides will be looking to win the game in order to climb up the table and that should make Thursday's fixture an exciting contest.


Vancouver Whitecaps vs Minnesota United Head-to-Head

Minnesota slightly edge the recent head-to-head record between the two sides, having won two of their last five meetings, with Vancouver winning only one.

The two sides played out a 2-2 draw the last time they met back in August. Cristian Dajome's brace was canceled out by goals from Ethan Finlay and Robin Lod to make sure the points were shared on the night.
