This is a vital clash in the cellar of the Major League Soccer, with both LA Galaxy and Colorado Rapids feeling more stress than glee. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the host team positioned 13th and the away side in 11th position.
- LA Galaxy have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Colorado Rapids have the fewest scored goals in the first half (0) in Major League Soccer
Colorado Rapids have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
