Vancouver Whitecaps host Seattle Sounders at BC Place Stadium on Sunday, November 1 (4:30 PM ET / 3:30 PM CT / 1:30 PM PT).
No fresh absences have emerged for either side, so Vancouver Whitecaps should again lean on Brian Michael White up top, backed by Thomas Müller and Ryan Gauld in support, with Mathías Laborda offering a set-piece outlet from the back. Seattle Sounders will look to Albert Rusnák to dictate play through the middle, Cristian Roldan screening in front of the defence, and Dejan Joveljić leading the line.
Vancouver have been composed at the top of the Western Conference, while Seattle have had to work for every point as they push for a top playoff spot. Both sides have struggled to score freely in recent weeks — Vancouver’s goalless draw at St. Louis City SC and Seattle’s shared spoils at San Diego FC point toward a tight, low-event night at BC Place, with the hosts’ edge enough to nick it by a single goal.
