Prediction: 2-1
Los Angeles FC
Colorado Rapids will be aiming to put an end to their six-game losing run in MLS when they host Los Angeles FC at their Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Colorado are having yet another season to forget and seeing that they have been struggling at the back of late, we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing something from Sunday’s football match against Los Angeles FC. The Rapids are low on confidence in the season finale and seeing that they have nothing to play for against the newcomers, home win should not be considered. Los Angeles FC are determined to finish the season in top two in the Western Conference and we predict that they are going to prove their worth on the field. When the two teams met at Banc of California Stadium earlier this term Los Angeles FC defeated Colorado Rapids 2-0.

Highlighted Team (Los Angeles FC):
Seeing that Los Angeles FC will be competing in Major League Soccer from the 2018 season, the club chiefs did well to reinforce the squad. Several high-profile players joined the club in the winter of 2018, with Mexican ace Carlos Vela being the biggest name to sign a deal with LAFC. The new expansion team will host their rivals at Banc of California, the stadium which is planned to be opened on April 29, 2018. The venue should hold up to 22,000 spectators.
