Double chance : draw or Vancouver Whitecaps

Vancouver Whitecaps have the clear upper hand in this matchup. Every recent meeting between these two teams has ended with Vancouver winning, and Chicago Fire have been inconsistent lately, mixing some wins with draws and a heavy defeat. Vancouver have also been scoring freely in several of their recent games, so they arrive in better shape.

Given how often these teams find the net when they meet, this could be an open game with goals. But based on recent form and the history between them, Vancouver Whitecaps look the stronger side and should come away with the win.
