Dick’s Sporting Goods Park will host Thursday's MLS game as Colorado Rapids look to continue their push for a playoff berth against Los Angeles FC. The Rapids enter the game on the back of consecutive victories over Austin and Sporting Kansas City, while their recent home form has been particularly encouraging, with five wins in their last six matches. Colorado have conceded just 0.50 goals per home game across their last 10, keeping clean sheets in 67% of those matches. Josh Atencio is suspended, but there are no fresh injury concerns.
Los Angeles FC, meanwhile, will be looking to bounce back from a narrow 1-0 defeat to San Diego FC. LA created 15 goal attempts but managed only 0.94 xG in that loss. The Black and Gold have been solid overall, averaging 1.70 goals and just 0.80 conceded over their last 10 games. Igor Jesus is doubtful, while Hasal, Martinez, and Palencia remain sidelined. LAFC have also won 10 of 18 H2H meetings, while six of their last seven against Colorado stayed under 3.5 goals.
As LAFC have dominated this H2H, we are tempted to place our bets on Away Win, alongside Los Angeles or Draw and Under 3.5 goals (landed in 12 of 18 meetings).
This MLS match will be played on Thursday 20 August 2026 at 02:30.
