Colorado Rapids form and stats
There's been little loot from Colorado Rapids's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 13 away games in the Major League Soccer. Colorado Rapids only have 2 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 3 draws. A depressing six defeats in a row for Colorado Rapids in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus LA Galaxy.

Colorado Rapids are travelling again after losing away to Minnesota United in their previous match (0-3).

Bombito, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.45. Bombito hit one key pass and won 9 of 12 duels.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Los Angeles FC wasn't a success with a 0-4 loss.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Colorado Rapids playing away, we found 8 games. Results were 1 away win, 2 draws and 5 home wins.
