Our prediction for this MLS match:
All eyes will be on Dick’s Sporting Goods Park when Colorado Rapids and Los Angeles Galaxy go head to head in the Major League Soccer. Colorado failed to win the previous six league fixtures, but they are surely capable of beating LA Galaxy, who failed to impress in a 3-2 loss to San Jose Earthquakes. Experienced attacker Gyasi Zardes should continue to lead the line for the hosts after finding the net in a 1-1 draw with Orlando City, while all Jack Price, Oliver Larraz, Aboubacar Keita, and Braian Galvan remain in the recovery room.
The visitors, on the other hand, have been playing some high-scoring games of late, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A lively contest is on the cards at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, and we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Javier Hernandez Chicharito has been tested positive for coronavirus, and, in his absence, a man to watch in the away team will be in-form Serbia attacker Dejan Joveljic.
Highlighted Player (Diego Rubio):
Diego Rubio is a Chilean attacker who signed his first professional deal with Colo-Colo. Rubio, though, made only eight league appearances (scoring three goals) for the Chilean outfit and in 2011 he moved to Europe, signing a deal with Primeira Liga team Sporting Lisbon. After playing only 11 league matches for the Lions, the 179-cm tall striker joined Spanish club Valladolid at the age of 22.
It has to be noted that during his spell with Sporting Lisbon he was loaned to the likes of Pandurii Targu Kiu and Sandnes Ulf. On September 1, 2016 Diego Rubio signed a permanent teal with Sporting Kansas City and he has been playing for the MLS club ever since.
Rubio was born on May 15, 1993 in Santiago, the capital of Chile, and he made his debut for the Chilean national football team in June, 2011 against Paraguay. His contract with Sporting Kansas City expires on June 30, 2017.
Highlighted Team (Los Angeles Galaxy):
Los Angeles Galaxy are probably the most famous American soccer club. The club have been participating in the MLS since 1996 and San Jose Earthquakes are considered their bitterest rivals. A number of top-class players were part of the team in the past, but, no doubt, David Beckham is the club’s most significant star. The former Manchester United star played for LA Galaxy from 2007 to 2012 and he scored 18 goals in 98 appearances in the league for the club.
Fellow England international Steven Gerrard is yet another Premier League ace who joined LA Galaxy. Stevie G signed a $9 million deal with the club in June, 2015. One year before he arrived to Los Angeles, the Galaxy won their fifth MLS Cup, with the team beating New England Revolution (2-1) in the final of the tournament, but winning the CONCACAF Champions League in 2000 is considered the club’s biggest success. The MLS outfit outplayed Olimpia of Honduras in the title game, with Ezra Hendrickson scoring the winning goal ten minutes before the final whistle.
Los Angeles Galaxy play their home games at StubHub Center, the stadium that was opened on June 1, 2003. The capacity of the venue is 27.000.
