Colorado Rapids
Dallas will be looking to build on a 2-1 win over Houston in the Texas derby when they face Colorado Rapids on Thursday morning. The Toros have been having their ups and downs ever since they restarted the season, with the team continuing with their habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels. Dallas are eyeing their third consecutive win at home, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. The good news for the hosts is that boss Luchi Gonzalez has a full squad to choose from.
Colorado Rapids, on the other hand, impressed in a 5-0 win at Real Salt Lake, with the team producing their best performance of the season. Diego Rubio scored a brace in the crushing of the Royals, meaning that the opposition defenders should have him at bay. Anyhow, both teams to score betting option should be considered as both teams are high on spirits ahead of the midweek clash.
Highlighted Player (Jesse Gonzalez):
Jesse Gonzales is a Mexican footballer who was born on May 25, 1995 in Edenton, North Carolina, United States of America.
