The MLS week gets an early start for the first time this season when Vancouver Whitecaps FC put their club-record winning streak on the line against a Columbus Crew SC side beginning a tricky road swing when the clubs meet Wednesday evening at BC Place. Whitecaps FC extended their winning run to four games – a high for their four MLS seasons – with a 2-0 home win Saturday against the LA Galaxy. Crew SC start a bicoastal road swing with the trip to Vancouver, their last match a 2-1 home loss to the New York Red Bulls on March 28.

• Octavio Rivero scored his fourth goal in the opening five games of the season – leading the MLS Golden Boot standings – as Whitecaps FC won an MLS club-record fourth consecutive game in their 2-0 win against the LA Galaxy on Saturday evening at BC Place.
• The Crew return to action after a weekend off, falling for the second time in three games in their last match, a 2-1 home defeat to the New York Red Bulls.
• Crew SC have not defeated Whitecaps FC since the 2011 season – Vancouver’s first year in MLS. The ‘Caps have won the lone meeting between the teams each of the last three years, including a 1-0 victory in Columbus last May 10.
• Whitecaps FC have won the only meeting between the teams at BC Place, a 2-1 victory in 2013. Crew SC have won once in Vancouver – a 1-0 victory in 2011, at Empire Field.
