The Major League Soccer season is underway and Vancouver Whitecaps host Colorado Rapids this weekend in the Western Conference. Two games in, league tables are of little importance but they give an indication of the start that each team has had. The hosts, 14th in the table, opened with a defeat to Sporting Kansas City before recovering with a victory over LA Galaxy. The visitors, third in the table, have taken maximum points from their opening set of games thanks to wins over DC United and Orlando City. The key performers for Colorado have been in the creative department. Forward Kei Kamara has already opened his goal account for the season while English midfielder Jack Price has been worthy of praise for his chance creation as well as his defensive work.

The Whitecaps haven't enjoyed as assured an opening as their opponents. Both sides finished in the bottom half of the table last season but the Whitecaps were rooted to the bottom. Whether they will be able to improve upon that placing remains to be seen. Their win over LA Galaxy was made easier by the red card doled out to Joe Corona. Their best-performing player thus far has been Iraqi left-back Ali Adnan, who already has one assist to his name. To rely on your left-back for inspiration is not ideal. Despite that, the Whitecaps will be hoping to carry momentum into a clash that typically features goals. Five of the last six matches between these teams have featured three or more goals. Those five also featured both teams scoring. Back both teams to score here.
