Colorado Rapids vs Sporting Kansas City Preview and Team News

Colorado Rapids Team News

Despite leading 0-3 in the 55th minute on the road against the New England Revolution, Colorado Rapids squandered a massive advantage. They luckily made a huge comeback and drew the game 3-3 thanks to an injury-time goal from Maximiliano Urruti.

Colorado currently occupy eighth place in the Western Conference. With 26 points after 20 rounds, they’re tied in seventh place with Los Angeles FC. But their latest performances have been below par for the squad.

The coach has some injuries to deal with ahead of the fixture. Cole Bassett, Ali Fadal, Djordje Mihailovic, and the former City goalkeeper Zack Steffen are all out. 

Colorado Rapids predicted lineup vs Sporting Kansas City (4-4-2): Defreitas-Hansen; Rosenberry, Awaziem, Maxso, Cannon; Ku-DiPietro, Larraz, Atencio, Harris; Yapi, Navarro.

Sporting Kansas City Team News

Sporting Kansas City parted ways with Real Salt Lake (1-1) in a principal match, which saw nine yellow cards and one red. After trailing in the first half, Sporting equalized thanks to Erik Thommy’s strike, and the hosts had no real chances afterwards.

The side from Kansas currently sit 12th with 20 points. Six behind the playoff zone, they’ve been one of the most exciting teams in the Western Conference, scoring 31 and conceding 37. 

Jake Davis was sent off after coming on as a substitute and will miss the upcoming clash. Joaquin Fernandez will return after serving a suspension, while Nemanja Radoja, Daniel Rosero, and Robert Voloder are sidelined with injuries.

Colorado Rapids vs Sporting Kansas City Prediction 

• Pick: Colorado Rapids to Win
• Odds: 1.87 (22Bet)
• Correct score prediction: Colorado Rapids 2-1 Sporting Kansas City

Inconsistency has been clear for these clubs. However, Colorado Rapids must bounce back after relinquishing such a huge advantage. In front of their fans, they’ll seek nothing but triumph. 

H2H matches between Colorado and Kansas City in recent years have shifted, with both teams emerging as winners. However, the Rapids are better at home and are fighting for a top-seven finish.

It won’t be an easy game for either squad, but we see the hosts having an edge on their home turf. Thus, our first prediction is Colorado Rapids to win. 

Colorado Rapids vs Sporting Kansas City Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Over 2.5 Goals
• Odds: 1.56 (22Bet)

Colorado Rapids and Sporting Kansas City have met each other regularly, and the majority of their matches have turned out to be productive. We expect the same to happen now, as both sides need points to improve their situations in the standings. 

In five out of the last six Sporting fixtures, we saw at least three goals scored. The numbers are moderate for Colorado Rapids, but the latter have experienced weaknesses in the defence, which was obvious in the last round.

The game promises a high-scoring affair, and we think it will be a display of two attacking teams. Therefore, our second pick would be over 2.5 goals.
