Team Analysis
Colorado Rapids are coming off a 3-0 defeat to LA Galaxy in their previous MLS fixture. Manager Chris Armas will consider that result a minor blip having won their previous three matches, and will be confident of making a swift return to winning ways. Having been on the road last time out, Colorado Rapids are returning home where they are unbeaten in six of their last seven matches. They have picked up five wins in that run, including a 4-1 thrashing of Montreal in their previous fixture in front of their fans.

Sporting Kansas were victorious last time out in the MLS as they triumphed 2-0 over Austin. Goals in each half from Tim Leibold and Stephen Afrifa were enough to give them all three points.
That was a vital win as it ended a run of three straight defeats for Peter Vermes’ men, who have not been at their best lately. Things have been much worse on the road as they have lost their last seven MLS away matches and were beaten 4-0 by Columbus Crew in their previous fixture on the road.

Head-to-Head
Kansas on topSporting Kansas have a 34-30 advantage with 22 draws from 86 previous matches against Colorado Rapids. However, Colorado claimed a 1-0 victory in the last meeting back in April 2023.

Odds Analysis
Colorado Rapids have been installed as overwhelming favourites among the bookies with a home win priced at 8/15. Having kept clean sheets in four of the last five meetings with Sporting Kansas, Colorado Rapids could be backed to earn a win to nil at 2/1. The hosts scored four goals in their previous home fixture and could be backed in the -1 handicap market.
