Western Conference leaders, the Vancouver Whitecaps, will be confident of maintaining their three point cushion at the top of the table, when they take on lowly Austin at BC Place on Sunday.
Whilst the league table suggests this should be a comfortable victory for the Whitecaps, Austin's recent form is far better than their 14th place position suggests. Austin's deserved 1-1 draw with Colorado last time out, secured thanks to a late Facundo Torres equalizer, means they have now gone five MLS games without defeat, comfortably their best run of a largely dismal season.
Vancouver's position at the top of the Conference table is largely due to an elite defence that has conceded just 21 goals in 23 league games this season. At the other end of the field, striker Brian White is enjoying a fine campaign, and his tally of 14 goals makes him the third-highest scorer in MLS this season.

Our Vancouver Whitecaps vs Austin FC Prediction
As you would expect, Vancouver are overwhelming favorites to win this game. However, the form book suggests that Austin have a genuine chance of causing an upset.
Over their last five MLS games, Austin have picked up nine points, precisely the same amount as Vancouver. It is also worth noting that the visitors are unbeaten during that sequence, so whilst Austin are out of postseason contention, they are making themselves extremely hard to beat.
We're not going to go all out and predict an Austin victory, but we are recommending that you take the generous 3.30 on the visitors claiming at least a point.
Our prediction for Vancouver Whitecaps vs Austin City is: Double chance: Draw/Austin.
