REF’s picks

Saint Louis arrive in phenomenal scoring form and boast the attacking weapons to push this total over the line against a Vancouver side that recently conceded three to Chicago. Both teams carry immense playoff ambitions and possess dangerous frontlines capable of exchanging blows from the opening whistle. However, defensive lapses on both sides in recent weeks could lead to an open, high-scoring affair.

1. 1Saint Louis have scored a staggering 19 goals across their last five matches in all competitions.
2. 2Vancouver's recent defensive solidity has slipped, highlighted by conceding three goals against Chicago Fire.
3. 3The visitors could struggle to contain Vancouver's lethal counterattacks if they commit too many men forward.
