Vancouver Whitecaps host San Diego FC at BC Place Stadium on Wednesday, October 28 (10:30 PM ET \/ 9:30 PM CT \/ 7:30 PM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vancouver Whitecaps have no fresh team-news concerns to work around, and the shape of this lineup picks itself around the players carrying the goal threat. Brian Michael White leads the line having scored 17 goals this season from 94 shots, with Thomas M\u00fcller operating in behind as the creative conduit \u2014 he has set up 52 chances created to go with 9 goals of his own. San Diego FC will again call on Anders Dreyer and Marcus Ingvartsen up top; Dreyer has 13 goals and a league-calibre 76 chances created, while Ingvartsen has added 12 goals of his own.<\/p>\n

This looks less like a coin-flip and more like a gap in class. Vancouver sit first in the West with 55 points and a +32 goal difference, numbers that back up a team which scores heavily and defends well across a long season. San Diego sit 12th in the West on 34 points with a -3 goal difference, and their form has leaned heavily on draws rather than wins. Three-all finishes against both Austin FC and Houston Dynamo sit alongside a heavy loss at New York Red Bulls, a pattern that points to goals flowing at both ends of the pitch on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n\n\n
