Goal Statistics

Portland Timbers have been awful at the back of late, conceding 2 or more goals in 7 consecutive Major League Soccer games. This run could continue, with Vancouver Whitecaps's PG an impressive 2.7.

Vancouver Whitecaps's defensive record is very strong, J. Sørensen's men having conceded 1 or less in 5 consecutive Major League Soccer matches. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.0 for Portland Timbers makes sense in this context.
