Vancouver Whitecaps are welcoming Colorado Rapids for another important game after their 2-2 result against Colorado Rapids.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

This pitch has artificial turf, which is not Colorado Rapids's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf Colorado Rapids have performed like this: Played ten matches resulting in 1 win, 1 draw and 8 defeats with the goal stats 6-20 (scored/conceded). Colorado Rapids have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
