Colorado Rapids
Rio Tinto Stadium will host Sunday’s football game between Real Salt Lake and Colorado Rapids, the two sides who sit in the opposite halves of the Western Conference standings. Real Salt Lake have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating San Jose, sharing the spoils with Columbus, while losing to Minnesota United in their last league match. The Royals aim to melt Los Angeles FC’s advantage to only four points, bt they will have to prove their worth on the field.
All Damir Kreilach, Bret Halsey, and Zack Farnsworth are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the home side. The Rapids, on the other hand, collected only one point in total from the previous four league fixtures, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. As for the visiting side, all Jack Price, Oliver Larraz, Aboubacar Keita, and Braian Falvan remain on the sidelines with injuries.
