We said: Sporting Kansas City 1-1 Vancouver Whitecaps

Neither side are in great form at the moment, while three of the previous four meetings between these two have resulted in either a draw or a one-goal victory. They are both low on confidence and struggling to create much going forward, which is why we are projecting a stalemate in this midweek clash. Read more.
