A pivotal Western Conference matchup in the postseason race takes the field Saturday night on the western Canadian coast as the Vancouver Whitecaps, holding a tenuous playoff position, host FC Dallas.

The visitors are out of a playoff qualifying spot by just three points with just seven matches remaining in the season, meaning results must come thick and fast if they are to make up ground. A wild 4-3 win over D.C. United to return from the Leagues Cup break was a good place to build from, but Dallas then went and lost 3-2 to the Colorado Rapids last weekend, another step back.

Vancouver, meanwhile, are sitting fifth, but are just seven points clear in a playoff spot, which is comfortable but not quite set in stone. They've won three of their last four league matches to strengthen that position, and beating a team chasing a postseason berth would go a long way towards confirming their place in the tournament. 

With the playoffs getting close, so much is riding on the line for many clubs with their futures yet to be confirmed.
