Our prediction for this MLS match:
Dick’s Sporting Goods Park will be the centre of attention when Colorado Rapids and Los Angeles FC lock horns in a highly-anticipated MLS game. Colorado aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Houston Dynamo, but they will have a big fish to fry against the vice-champions. All Jasper Loffelsend, Connor Ronan, and Daniel Chacon are sidelined with injuries, while Canada defender Moise Bombito is back from international duty.
The Black and Gold, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 5-0 win over Nashville where key attacker Denis Bouanga scored a brace. The Gabon striker will be the man to watch in the away team, while midfielders Tomas Angel and Lorenzo Dellavalle remain in the treatment room. In their last meeting in the Major League Soccer Los Angeles FC crushed Colorado Rapids 4-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
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.
