The table-topping Vancouver Whitecaps will be looking to bounce back from last week's shock loss at the Houston Dynamos, when they visit San Diego FC on Sunday night in a key MLS Eastern Conference showdown.
Prior to that defeat against the Dynamos, Vancouver had been in sensational form, picking up a whopping 17 points from their previous seven games as they stormed to the top of the Conference standings.
It has been a far less impressive start to the season for San Diego, and they currently occupy a lowly tenth spot in the table. The good news for San Diego fans is that there have been some strong signs of improvement from Mikey Varas's side in recent weeks, and following last weekend's dramatic 3-3 draw with Cincinnati, they have now gone four games without defeat.

Our San Diego FC vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction
Although the Conference standings suggest that this should be a routine win for the Whitecaps, we think that San Diego's recent performances suggest they are capable of springing a surprise.
Mikey Varas's side have scored an impressive eight goals in their last two games, and their performance in the 5-0 demolition of Austin in their last home game was comfortably their best of the campaign.
A similar performance on Sunday would give them an excellent chance against a Whitecaps side that are showing a few signs of frailty.
Our prediction for San Diego FC vs Vancouver Whitecaps is: Draw.
