Vancouver Whitecaps will host Portland Timbers at BC Place in the MLS on Saturday, looking to build on their last result.

The Blue-and-White picked up their first win of the season last weekend following a narrow 1-0 win over Sporting Kansas City.

Ryan Raposo scored in the 73rd minute to secure all three points for Vanni Sartini's side, who climbed off the bottom of the Western Conference.

Portland are just two points clear of them in 12th place despite playing a game more, having also won just once from six games.

The Timbers currently boast the joint worst defensive record in the Western Conference, with 11 goals shipped, a tally matched only by San Jose.

Head coach Giovanni Savarese will have to fix the issue for his team to get their campaign truly up and running.

Vancouver Whitecaps vs Portland Timbers Prediction

The Whitecaps generally tend to perform better on home soil and could give Portland a serious run for their money.

It's a clash of a limp attack and a lackluster defence, but the home side should prevail.
