We said: Sporting Kansas City 1-2 Vancouver Whitecaps

 They have the joint-worst record in MLS, but Vancouver have looked a lot better in recent matches and could be due for a break. Kansas City have struggled with consistency all season, and have not looked nearly as dangerous in the final third as a season ago, so we expect the Caps to end their road woes this weekend.
