In-form FC Dallas travel to Vancouver Whitecaps knowing momentum is on their side.
A MLS meeting between Vancouver Whitecaps (2nd, 63 pts) and FC Dallas (7th, 44 pts). Two sides with their own objectives and plenty to play for.
The lead strikers on both sides carry the narrative here. Vancouver Whitecaps will lean on whoever's hot in front of goal, while FC Dallas travel with the same brief: find a way past a back four that's been organised more often than not this season.
The travelling FC Dallas fans arrive with a spring in their step, and rightly so. recent form reads D-L-D-W-W. That D-L-D-W-W away form is genuinely impressive. Vancouver Whitecaps have been wobbling (D-D-L-W-L) recent form reads D-D-L-W-L. But home crowds have a way of dragging a side through, and Vancouver Whitecaps will fancy that their own supporters can be the difference when it matters.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
Vancouver Whitecaps create chances worth 2.1 a game (and give up chances worth 1.0), leaving them +1.1 a game on the balance. FC Dallas create 1.3 (giving up 1.9) for a balance of -0.6. The underlying numbers clearly favour Vancouver Whitecaps. They're creating better chances AND giving up fewer good ones.
This doesn't look like a high-scoring one. Vancouver Whitecaps average 2.0 goals per game and FC Dallas manage 1.5. Combined that's just 3.5. We make it only 1% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game. Interestingly, the chances suggest more goals than the headline number. Vancouver Whitecaps and FC Dallas together create chances worth 3.4 a game. The low figure might be underrating the attacking quality here.
Vancouver Whitecaps are all-out attack: 2.0 goals a game, but they leak 1.2 at the other end. They'll throw plenty at FC Dallas, but there are gaps at the back for the visitors to get at.
