Our prediction for this MLS match:
Rio Tinto Stadium will host Sunday’s football game between Real Salt Lake and Colorado Rapids, the two teams who seem to be evenly matched at the moment. The Royals aim to climb to the playoffs berth, and we are positive that they will go for a win in the Rio Tinto Stadium clash. Defender Noah Powder is on international duty with Trinidad and Tobago, while teenager Zackery Farnsworth has yet to recover from a leg injury.
The Rapids, on the other hand, continue with their old habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels. Colorado aim to build on a 2-0 win over Dallas, and seeing that they will go for a victory in Sunday’s game as well, both teams to score betting option should be considered. All Acosta, Lewis, and Vines represent United States of America at the 2021 Gold Cup.
Highlighted Player (Nedum Onuoha):
Nedum Onuoha was born in Warri, Nigeria on 12 November, 1986, but he was brought up in Manchester. He attended Xaverian College Manchester and he was a very good student. He was an outstanding junior sprinter as well and it has to be noted that he won the silver medal at the English School’s Athletics Association Junior 100 metres contest.
Speaking of his football career, he began playing at Manchester City at age 18, scoring three goals in 95 league appearances for the Citizens. He spent the 2010/2011 season on loan at Sunderland and in 2012 he signed a four-and-a-half-year deal with Queens Park Rangers.
Despite the fact that he was born in Nigeria, Onuoha was eligible to play for England and you should know that he has 20 caps for England U21 team. However, he was never given a senior England debut despite being really close on several occasions. Onuoha won the Championship play-offs with Queens Park Rangers in the 2013/2014 season.
Highlighted Team (Colorado Rapids):
Colorado Rapids is a Major League Soccer club and they compete in the USA professional soccer league as a member of the Western Conference. Colorado began their play in MLS back in 1996 and 14 years later they managed to win the MLS Cup trophy. The Rapids recorded a 2-1 win over FC Dallas in the final of the tournament, with George John scoring the winner for Gary Smith’s team in the extra time. Colorado made it to the MLS Cup final in 1997 as well, but D.C. United proved to be a big catch for the club in the title game.
The Rapids play their home games at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park and the venue has been Colorado’s home ground since 2007. It has to be noted that the likes of Tim Howard, Carlos Valderama, Claudio Lopez and Jermaine Jones were all part of the club in the past. Colorado’s colors are red, sky blue and white, but they were yellow shirts and blue shorts when playing on the travels.
