The Major League Soccer season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Montreal Impact and Vancouver Whitecaps promises to be an interesting one.
The visiting Vancouver Whitecaps played their last game only four days ago, a Major League Soccer match. That game, against Toronto, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Vancouver Whitecaps.
Montreal Impact's stadium, Stade Saputo, has a grass surface. Vancouver Whitecaps have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Vancouver Whitecaps when playing on grass; 9 wins, 9 draws and 17 losses from 35 matches. They have scored 41 goals in these games and conceded 71.
These teams have little in common geographically as Vancouver Whitecaps have to travel 4500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Montreal Impact form and stats

Early season league goal statistics from Montreal Impact's 1 home game: 2 goals, 1 conceded.
Vancouver Whitecaps form and stats
Vancouver Whitecaps are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Major League Soccer, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Vancouver Whitecaps have lost on their last two travels.
Vancouver are looking to quickly end their 289 minutes long goal drought in the Major League Soccer.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Vancouver, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Toronto (placed 2nd). Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Toronto's place.
It's a bit worrying for Vancouver that their goalkeeper Thomas Hasal made seven saves in the Toronto game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Vancouver's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches. 4 goals have been conceded by Vancouver Whitecaps in these games.
