An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 12th and the visitors in 12th place.

Colorado Rapids form and stats

Colorado Rapids's struggle is real here with only 5 points collected from 7 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly 1-2-4.

Colorado Rapids's previous game was a Major League Soccer match also played at home, ending 3-2 versus Columbus Crew. The home side are looking to build on that result. Before that match, a win away at LA Galaxy.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Colorado Rapids have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won 6 Drawn 1 Lost 3.

With an average of more than two goals per home game (14 in 7 games), Colorado Rapids's attacking play is working. As for conceded goals, Colorado Rapids's unpleasant statistic is 14 goals surrendered.

Cincinnati form and stats

Cincinnati have only collected 4 points from their away games after 1-1-6 (8 played). It's all red in the travel logs of Cincinnati, having lost five matches in a row as the visiting team.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Major League Soccer home defeat versus New York RB with 0-2 on the scoreboard. A 1-5 defeat away at Orlando City before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found two similar matches played by Cincinnati in our archives, and the results are: 0 wins for Cincinnati, 2 draws and 0 defeats.

The visitors have scored 5 goals from 8 away games, an average of less than one per game. The Cincinnati manager Y. Damet has some worries about the defense as 16 goals have been conceded in these travels.
