Our prediction for this MLS match:
Austin FC will look to recover from a 2-1 loss to Los Angeles Galaxy when they take on Colorado Rapids on Sunday morning. Los Verdes missed out on a place in the MLS Cup playoffs, but their pride will be at stake in the last game of the regular season. Bear in mind, though, that both Daniel Pereira and Guilherme Biro are banned for the hosts. The Rapids, on the other hand, are on a three-game losing run in the Major League Soccer.
Colorado suffered a dip in form, but they are surely capable of matching Austin in Sunday’s clash. As the visitors should be happy with one point from the decider, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. You should bear in mind that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of the previous four meetings between the two clubs. Both Bassett and Cabral are injured for the visiting side, while talented goalkeeper Adam Beaudry is closing in on a return.
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.
