Seattle Sounders FC desperately need points on Sunday, Nov 1 at 10:30 PM in the MLS. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Vancouver Whitecaps come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Seattle Sounders FC travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Vancouver Whitecaps won their last outing, while Seattle Sounders FC suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Vancouver Whitecaps a slight edge, but Seattle Sounders FC are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
