This matchup will feature two teams out of the Western Conference as we move into the second week of the MLS season. Vancouver lost the opening game 3-2, while Real Salt Lake drew 1-1.
Vancouver Whitecaps
The Whitecaps blew a very early 1-0 lead against Minnesota United, allowing three unanswered goals before picking up their second goal in the dying minutes. Right off the bat Vancouver will need to improve defensively if they want to have a successful campaign. Allowing three goals to a below average Minnesota United team will lead to a down season if Vancouver cannot tighten up.
The goals scorers for Vancouver were Erik Godoy (6′) and Doneil Henry (81′). While they played well, more of the Whitecaps players need to get involved if they are going to bounce back on the road.

Playing this game on the road already gives the Whitecaps a slight disadvantage. If they sit back and try to defend the whole game, Real Salt Lake will take advantage and it will be a long game for Vancouver. The key for Vancouver is to get on the board early like in their previous game, but this time they need to keep the pressure on to look for a second goal.
Real Salt Lake
Real Salt Lake settled for a 1-1 draw with the Houston Dynamo in their first week of the season. This was a good result because they were on the road and getting a draw in road games is always a plus. The only negative was they were the first to score and therefore should have gotten all three points. Now they will get to take the pitch in front of their home fans looking for their first win.
The lone goal scorer for Real Salt Lake was Albert Rusnák. Furthermore, Real Salt Lake took 14 shots with only 5 on target. They will need to work on taking advantage of their scoring opportunities at a higher rate if they want to fend off this Whitecaps team.

For the most part the defending for Real Salt Lake was very good. However, the goal allowed in the second half was the only shot on target for Houston, so look for Real Salt Lake to defend much better against the Whitecaps, who were able to score twice in their opener.
