​Vancouver is hitting the road after a five-match unbeaten home stand. That streak – one win and four draws – included a 15 May 0:0 draw with Montréal in league play. It also included a 0:0 draw with Toronto FC last Wednesday in the Nutrilite Canadian Championship.

​Toronto FC does not play this week, but will win the championship if Montréal wins or earns a draw. After four weeks, the standings has Toronto FC in first place with seven points (2-1-0), Vancouver in second place with two points (0-2-0), and Montréal is last place with one point (0-1-2).
