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!
Sporting KC have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

1 victory, 3 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Colorado Rapids have to build on here at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in the Major League Soccer. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
Colorado enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at LA Galaxy's place. The match ended 2-0 with Cole Bassett and Jonathan Lewis scoring. Heartbreak before that as Colorado lost 1-4 at Dallas's place.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

Before that, Sporting KC secured a home win against Minnesota United with the score 1-0.
