Betting on Colorado Rapids SC

Colorado Rapids vs Minnesota United Predictions Picks Betting Odds Matchday 4 Game on March 18, 2023

The Colorado Rapids cannot get out of a terrible start to the season, in which they lost both away games (0-4 against Seattle and 0-1 against the SJ Earthquakes) and drew the only one they played at home (0-0 against Kansas City). However, what worries the most is the lack of goals: the team has not been able to score so far in the tournament.

It urgently needs to improve on what it did in the 2022 season, when it did not even make it to the playoffs. However, on that occasion, the Rapids’ start was somewhat better as they won two matches in the first three dates.

Possible Lineup (3-4-3): William Yarbrough; Sam Nicholson, Danny Wilson and Andreas Maxso; Keegan Rosenberry, Connor Ronan, Bryan Acosta and Alex Gersbach; Cole Bassett, Darren Yapi and Kevin Cabral.

Betting on Minnesota United FC

Minnesota got off to a good start with a narrow 1-0 win over Dallas and a 1-1 draw with the New York Red Bulls. We are talking about a team that needs to improve on what it did in 2022, when it did not advance past the first round of the playoffs. Let’s consider their participation in last year’s championship: in the first two matchdays, they drew, and in the third, they got their first win.

An encouraging fact is that the same team was used in both matches of this tournament, which speaks of the confidence that the English coach, Adrian Heath, has in his players.

Bongokuhle Hlongwane (South African) and Mender García (Colombian) have been their top scorers, and this Colorado Rapids vs Minnesota United game is expected to be no exception to the rule.

Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Dayne St. Clair; Zarek Valentin, Michael Boxall, Miguel Tapias and Kemar Lawrence; Kevin Arriaga and Wil Tapp; Bongokuhle Hlongwane, Robin Lod and Franco Fragapane; Mender Garcia.

Minnesota United has a better outlook heading to this Colorado Rapids vs Minnesota United game, with a team that is starting to gain confidence from the results.

Prediction: Minnesota wins by 1-0.
