Welcome back everyone.
The Vancouver Whitecaps’ flurry of busy match-weeks continues on Sunday as they will be in Charlotte for a fixture with first-year MLS side Charlotte FC. So far this year, the newcomers have 13 points from 12 matches and therefore are on very comparable pace with the Whitecaps, who are also firmly in the 1.0ppg territory. In terms of recent form, it’s been a mixed bag as Charlotte is 1-1-2 in their last four, most recently losing at home to CF Montreal by a score of 2-0.
For Vancouver, you have to imagine that Ryan Gauld will have cleared protocols in time for this match, and I’ll keep his status updated here.
