We said: Vancouver Whitecaps 3-1 Sporting Kansas City

The Whitecaps attack is starting to come together, developing some solid partnerships while reading the field at BC Place incredibly well. Sporting seem to be back on the right path, but they have not been sharp on the road throughout much of the campaign, and we expect they will be a step behind the speedy Whitecaps on Saturday.
