Having ended a five-game winless run last time out, Seattle will be determined to pick up another positive result this weekend, but Vancouver look set to give the Sounders a run for their money.
Given that Vancouver have netted 22 goals across their previous 10 MLS outings, we expect the Whitecaps to instigate a high-scoring encounter on Saturday, although the points will likely be shared.
Our analysis of all available data, including recent performances and player stats up until an hour before kickoff, suggested the most likely outcome of this match was a Vancouver Whitecaps win with a probability of 54.24%. A draw had a probability of 23.4% and a win for Seattle Sounders had a probability of 22.32%.
The most likely scoreline for a Vancouver Whitecaps win was 1-0 with a probability of 10.65%. The next most likely scorelines for that outcome were 2-1 (9.8%) and 2-0 (9.39%). The likeliest drawn scoreline was 1-1 (11.11%), while for a Seattle Sounders win it was 0-1 (6.31%). The actual scoreline of 2-3 was predicted with a 1.8% likelihood.
