Percentages are the chance the price implies, before the bookmaker's margin. 18+ Home 4.75, Draw 4.53, Away 1.69. The last day of the MLS regular season, Decision Day, is Saturday 7 November, and the one all-Canadian game of it is CF Montréal against the Vancouver Whitecaps at Stade Saputo, at 4 p.m. ET (22:00 CET). For once the Whitecaps arrive with nothing left to clinch. They have already won the Western Conference, the top seed in the Western half of the playoffs and a place in next year's Concacaf Champions Cup, according to the club. Montréal are out of the playoffs, and so are Toronto FC, who play at Philadelphia Union at the same hour. ## Why it matters For Vancouver, it is a last look at the side before the playoffs begin. The club's statement on clinching first place in the West says the seed brings "home-field advantage throughout the Western Conference playoffs" and the chance to host the MLS Cup final at BC Place if they reach it. They go into Saturday on 61 points from 33 games, 18 wins, 8 defeats and 7 draws, after beating Seattle 5-1 at home on Sunday 1 November: Brian White scored in the 1st and 53rd minutes, Ryan Gauld in the 9th, Laborda in the 43rd and Cvetković in the 69th, with Jordan Morris replying for Seattle in the 62nd, according to the Sounders' own match report. Four days earlier, in a 4-1 win over San Diego, Vancouver set a club record for goals in a season, White scored his 100th MLS goal and Thomas Müller returned from injury, MLSsoccer.com reported. A win in Montréal would take them to 64 points. For Montréal, Saturday closes a season that ended early. The club confirmed in April that Philippe Eullaffroy, who took charge as caretaker on 12 April, would stay for the rest of the season; Luca Saputo said in that statement that "the mandate we initially entrusted to Philippe was defined as temporary". Who coaches the club in 2027 is a question for the winter. ## The week around it MLSsoccer.com's playoff tracker, updated on 2 November, says the Wild Card games begin on Thursday 19 November and the MLS Cup final is on Friday 18 December. The Whitecaps' statement sets out their path: a best-of-three Round One series against the winner of the Western Wild Card between the eighth and ninth seeds, with game one at BC Place on Sunday 22 November, game two away on 27 or 28 November and a third game, if needed, back in Vancouver on 1 or 2 December. Between Decision Day and then comes the international break, and Canada's Nations League quarter-final against Guatemala on 13 and 16 November; our piece on Jesse Marsch's 23-man squad is linked below. Toronto FC's season ends at Philadelphia, who were projected sixth in the East on MLSsoccer.com's tracker. Toronto were eliminated on 1 November, a sixth straight season without the playoffs, when they lost 3-1 at Atlanta, according to The Associated Press. ## Team news No confirmed team news as of 07:45 CET on Thursday (1:45 a.m. ET). Vancouver's statement and MLSsoccer.com's report of the San Diego game say Müller is back from injury and played; neither club has published a squad list for Saturday. The question for Vancouver is how much a coach rests with a playoff series fifteen days away; the question for Montréal is which of their young players get a last start. ## How to read the market The market is new and quiet. BettingBeast's feed, which this site reads at least once an hour, first carried the game at 21:20 CET on Tuesday 3 November with Vancouver at 1.67 to win, and at 07:22 CET on Thursday, the capture on the card above, had them at 1.69, Montréal at 4.75 and the draw at 4.53. At 1.69 Vancouver are given about a 59% chance by the price, Montréal about 21%; the change since Tuesday is under one percentage point, which is noise. The handicap gives Montréal a half-goal start. The feed carried no goals line for this game at that capture. ## What to watch White, on 100 league goals and in the form of his career. Whether Vancouver treat the game as a rehearsal, with the first-choice side for an hour, or as a rest. And the Montréal crowd's farewell to a season that did not go well. A lean: a Vancouver win by more than one goal looks less likely than the 5-1 suggests, because a team with nothing to play for tends to play within itself. The card on this page carries the latest price. ## Sources 1.
