The Vancouver Whitecaps team will welcome San Diego FC to BC Place in Vancouver, British Columbia. Both teams are at the top of the standings, which will make the match a hot match to watch.
Standings and Form
Vancouver Whitecaps sit at the top of the MLS standings with 35 points from 17 matches. Their results so far include 10 wins, 5 draws, and just 2 losses (W19, D5, L2).
They’ve proven to be strong at home, which has made them ranked second in home performance games with six wins, two draws, and one loss from nine games.
Despite a narrow 2-1 defeat to the Columbus Crew in their most recent match, the Whitecaps remain a dominant force, especially when playing in front of their home supporters.
San Diego FC trails just behind in second place, having collected 33 points from 18 matches. Their record includes 10 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses.
On the road, they’ve split results evenly, securing four wins and suffering four defeats from eight matches. Their most recent outing was an impressive 4-2 away victory against Minnesota United, underlining their attacking threat.
Key Players to Watch

Mexican international Hirving Lozano has been influential in the final third with seven assists, ranking him among the league’s top creators.
