Can Real Salt Lake capitalize on their away form, or will Vancouver Whitecaps continue their strong start to the season with another victory at home?

After a successful two-game road trip that resulted in claiming six points, the Caps are gearing up for the first of four matches under the dome this weekend.

Vancouver is currently in exceptional form, having outscored their last two opponents by a margin of 5-1. They now have the chance to secure three consecutive victories in this competition for the first time since 2022.

Despite the absence of head coach Vanni Sartini, who is serving a one-match suspension, the Whitecaps have made a strong start. The club successfully appealed to reduce his six-game suspension, and he is set to return to the sidelines soon.

After a week-long break, we'll be keen to see how Pablo Mastroeni's team bounces back following their defeat to their arch-rivals in the Rocky Mountain Cup.

It was the first time this team failed to secure any points from a league fixture despite scoring the opening goal since September 2023 (a 3-1 loss against Dallas).

Since the 2023 regular season, Claret and Cobalt have managed to secure at least a point in four consecutive away matches in MLS, including a 1-1 draw against St Louis City to kick off the 2024 domestic campaign.

Prediction: Vancouver 1-1 Real Salt Lake
