San Jose haven't beaten Vancouver in four games.

Vancouver Whitecaps will host San Jose Earthquakes at the BC Place in the MLS on Saturday, looking to extend their winning run to three games across competitions.

The Blue and White are languishing at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings with just two wins and seven points from nine games.

They waited five games for their first win of the season and another three for their second before Vancouver won 2-0 against Valour in the Canadian Championship on Wednesday. Vanni Sartini's team will look to make it three wins in a row for the first time in over a year and their second consecutive league win since October last year.

San Jose, meanwhile, have accrued two more points than Vancouver, albeit having playing a game more too. After going the first seven games without a win, the Goonies won twice in their next three, including a pulsating 4-3 victory over Seattle Sounders.

They recently got another win against Sounders, knocking them out of the US Open Cup in the Round of 32 10-9 on penalties following a 2-2 draw. If they win here, it will be two league wins in a row for them for the first time since September last year.

It's an interesting clash of the most toothless attack against the most fragile defence.

Vancouver have struggled to score, while San Jose have struggled to stop conceding. San Jose haven't won a game away from home so far this season, just like the Whitecaps.

Considering the same, this game could end in a low-scoring draw.

Prediction: Vancouver Whitecaps 1-1 San Jose Earthquakes.
