New England Revolution v Vancouver Whitecaps FC
Vancouver Whitecaps will meet Nashville in MLS on Saturday

The Vancouver Whitecaps will face Nashville at the BC Place in their upcoming MLS Western Conference fixture on Saturday.

The home team are undefeated in their last two league outings. They recorded a home win over the Colorado Rapids a couple of weeks ago but were held to a 1-1 draw by Real Salt Lake last time out.

Nashville returned to winning ways after a gap of more than a month as they recorded an impressive 4-0 win over Dallas in their previous outing. They are in sixth place in the Western Conference Standings with 36 points and are very much in contention to secure a playoff berth.

The Vancouver Whitecaps are a couple of places behind them in eighth place with 34 points and a win here will go a long way in securing their playoff ambitions.

Vancouver Whitecaps vs Nashville Prediction

Vancouver have won their last two games at home while Nashville are winless in their last three away games. The two sides could not be separated in their first-ever meeting last month and, given the form of the two sides, this game is also expected to end similarly.
