Inter Miami CF will head north to Canada for their first-ever Major League Soccer (MLS) meeting with the Vancouver Whitecaps FC this Saturday.
The Caps come into this match sitting in seventh place in the Western Conference and are winless in four straight games across all competitions. They needed a penalty in second-half stoppage time last weekend to salvage a 1-1 draw with the Seattle Sounders.
The Herons, on the flip side of the form table, have put together a nine-game unbeaten run in MLS action. They earned a 1-0 win over D.C. United in dramatic fashion on Saturday night. The only goal of the game came from the boot of striker Leonardo Campana, who entered as a second-half substitute late on, just one minute before bagging the winner in stoppage time.
