The most recent meeting between these sides took place in August last year, and produced six goals as Kansas ran out 4-2 winners over Colorado. Each of the last four meetings between these sides, stretching back to 2024, have seen BTTS - offering plenty of promise of an end to end meeting here.

Colorado have won two and lost two of their opening four games of the MLS season. They’ve seen BTTS in their last two games ahead of this clash, and notably saw 54 goals across their 17 away matches in the MLS last season (3.17 per game). Colorado only managed to win three of these games, suggesting that they are quite vulnerable on the road.

Kansas have also seen BTTS in two of their four MLS games so far, most recently coming away 2-1 winners over LA Galaxy, which represented their first win of the season. They had the worst home record in the Western Conference last season, winning just four of their 17 matches, with these games producing 57 goals (3.35 per game).

St Louis have made a poor start to the MLS season, being one of three sides across the two conferences that is yet to win a game. They’ve drawn one and lost three of their opening four games of the MLS season, conceding six goals across these matches.

New England haven’t made the best of starts either, losing two of their opening three matches with these games notably producing 13 goals (4.33 per game). New England have seen BTTS in two of these games, interestingly being on both sides of extreme results with their opening game of the season ending in a 4-1 defeat to Nashville, while their most recent assignment saw them come away 6-1 winners against Cincinnati.

These sides haven’t met that often recently, with the only head to head meeting within the last five years being a 2-2 draw between the sides back in 2024. With neither side starting the season too well, there should be lapses in concentration across both back lines which lead to goals at both ends. 

Vancouver Whitecaps reached the final of the MLS knockout tournament at the end of the season after a strong performance in the league phase of the Western Conference. They look to be strong again this time around with Vancouver winning all four of their games so far in the early stages of the MLS season.

Vancouver have been dominant in these games as well, netting 14 goals and conceding just once, with only LAFC being able to keep up with their 100% start. San Jose have made a pretty decent start to the MLS season as well, winning three of their four matches - but their displays have not been as convincing as the Whitecaps, who look set to make a strong claim for the MLS title again this term.

Vancouver ran out 4-1 winners when these sides met towards the end of last year, with Vancouver being really dominant in that game. The Whitecaps limited San Jose to an xG of just 0.51, while generating an xG of 2.49 themselves from 18 shots in total. Vancouver lost just three of their 17 home matches in the MLS last season, winning 10 of these games.
