This match features two teams living in the basement of the Major League Soccer, Atlanta United holding 11th place and Colorado Rapids lying 12th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Colorado Rapids have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 1-0-9 (win-draw-loss) from ten matches. Colorado Rapids have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
