Betting on the Colorado Rapids
The season is a long and winding road, but if the Colorado Rapids don’t turn things around soon, they’ll be left out in the cold when it comes to the MLS playoffs this year. After five games played, Colorado is one of only three teams in the league without a win, leaving them at the bottom of the Western Conference with just two points.
Despite a tough 4-0 loss to the Sounders in their season opener, the biggest issue for Robin Fraser’s side is their lack of finishing ability. Along with Kansas City and the LA Galaxy, the other two winless teams, they are at the bottom of the league in goals scored with just two.
At home, the Rapids managed a scoreless draw against Kansas City before falling to a Minnesota team that remains undefeated and beat them 2-1. It’s clear that they need to start finding the back of the net if they want to climb the standings and keep their playoff hopes alive.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): William Yarbrough; Lalas Abubakar, Andreas Maxso, Danny Wilson, Anthony Markanich; Sam Nicholson, Max, Connor Ronan; Cole Bassett, Darren Yapi, Michael Barrios.
Betting on LAFC
The current champions have kicked off their title defense with a bang! After playing four games, they remain unbeaten in the league.
Under the guidance of Steven Cherundolo, the team is placed third in the Western Conference with 10 points and one game in hand. The St. Louis City is leading the group with a perfect record of five wins in five games played.
LAFC’s offense has been dominant in the early stages of the tournament, scoring nine goals in just four matches. The Gabonese striker, Denis Bouanga, has been sensational, scoring three goals, and currently sits in the fourth position of the top goalscorers’ chart.
As far as their away performance goes, this will only be LAFC’s second game on the road. In the fourth round, they visited the Sounders and left Seattle with a hard-earned point after a goalless draw. In fact, that’s the only game where LAFC has failed to score, while they have kept two of their four opponents this season from finding the back of the net.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): John McCarthy; Sergi Palencia, Jesus Murillo, Giorgio Chiellini, Diego Palacios; Timothy Tillman, Ilie Sanchez, Kellyn Acosta; Kwadwo Opoku, Carlos Vela, Denis Bouanga.
JefeBet Prediction
The Rapids’ team is having a tough time this week as they aim for their first win in the championship, even though they are playing at home. Colorado’s squad has only scored two goals in four games, and they will face the reigning champions, who have shown a solid defense against strong opponents.
Furthermore, LAFC’s offense is one of the most dangerous in the entire MLS, and they remain unbeaten as they chase St. Louis for the top spot in the Conference.
However, the Los Angeles-based club will have to bring their A-game to the Mile High City, where they have lost three out of the four times they have faced the Rapids. Will LAFC be able to break the curse and continue their winning streak in this Colorado Rapids vs LAFC match? Only time will tell.
Prediction: LAFC wins (COL 1 – LAFC 2).
