NEW FOES: After their Canadian Championship triumph against Toronto FC on Tuesday, Vancouver Whitecaps FC are set to return to MLS action this Saturday as they travel to Tennessee to face fellow Western Conference side Nashville SC. The match will mark the first-ever meeting between the two sides and the first of two meetings this season.
AWAY FORM: With 12 matches to go in the regular season, the 'Caps sit five points outside the playoff places going into the weekend. Six of those 12 matches will come on the road, where the Blue and White have found success recently, tallying a 2W-1L-2D record in their last five road matches. The team has also claimed two clean sheets across those matches.
SHINING LIKE GAULD: Ryan Gauld has been a big part of the 'Caps offensive production lately. In the last four matches, the Scottish attacking midfielder has tallied a goal and four assists, bringing him up to three goals and a team-high seven assists across all competitions this season. Gauld also leads the team in chances created and expected assists in MLS play.
