Our prediction for this MLS match:
Dick’s Sporting Goods Park will be the centre of attention when Colorado Rapids and Portland Timbers lock horns in an eagerly-awaited MLS game. The Rapids aim to build on back-to-back wins over Austin FC and San Jose Earthquakes and they must be high on confidence ahead of Sunday’s clash. Calvin Harris should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute against San Jose, while all Samuel Vines, Jackson Travis, and Theodore Ku-Pietro have been struggling with injuries.
Portland Timbers, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Los Angeles Galaxy. As Phil Neville’s men are not considered good travellers, we predict that Colorado are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s encounter. Colombian defender Juan Mosquera continues to miss out with injury for the visiting side. In their first away games of the season, Portland Timbers suffered a 2-0 loss to Nashville SC.
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.
