“We have the experience of losing that top spot on the last day last season and then having to play some big games away from home,” said Vancouver Whitecaps defender Ralph Priso.
“We know how important it is to play at home in those tight games because the fans, the stadium, is kind of what helps you in the tough moments.”
Despite their success this season, the Whitecaps have been limping to the finish line.
Vancouver has just three wins in their last 10 games. The team wrapped up a five-game road-trip with a 1-0 loss to the Colorado Rapids on Saturday. They now sit just one point ahead of FC Dallas with three games remaining.
