Overview

• Edier Ocampo’s red card has been overturned, clearing the defender for selection, while Peruvian attacker Kenji Cabrera may also feature and Ryan Gauld’s return remains unclear.
• The Houston Dynamo arrive at BC Place winless in seven matches, having conceded 41 goals this season with Ezequiel Ponce emerging as their top scorer.
• Vancouver’s strong early-season form and home support are set to be tested as the team integrates new talent in pursuit of league and continental success.
• The Müller acquisition represents the Whitecaps’ most significant roster investment to date, leveraging MLS salary mechanisms to boost both on-field prospects and commercial momentum.
