The Sounders haven’t lost any of their last 14 matches against Vancouver (W9 D5, incl. playoffs) dating back to a 2-1 loss in April 2017. The 14-game streak is Vancouver’s longest without a win against any MLS team while it equals Seattle’s longest without defeat against a single opponent.
After recording just two wins in their first eight league games this season (D1 L5), Seattle has won three of its last four matches (L1). The Sounders have managed just one clean sheet this season, however, and have allowed a goal in 18 of their last 19 regular season games dating back to early October 2021.
The Whitecaps have won four of their last six games (D1 L1) after recording one win in their first eight games this season (D1 L6). That run includes a 1-0 win at Sporting Kansas City in Vancouver’s last away match, as the Whitecaps haven’t won consecutive road matches in a single season since August 2018.
Raúl Ruidíaz has scored six goals in seven career MLS games against Vancouver. Since Ruidíaz debuted in MLS in July 2018, no player has scored more goals against the Whitecaps (Damir Kreilach – 6).
The Whitecaps won their last match, 2-1, against Real Salt Lake on a 93rd-minute penalty by Ryan Gauld. It was the third 90th-minute winner for the Whitecaps this season after they had just two 90th-minute winning goals in the previous six seasons combined.
