Los Angeles FC vs Colorado Rapids

Los Angeles host Colorado Rapids in a US MLS Western Conference clash, with both teams looking to snap out of recent slumps.

While both sides have had their problems lately, the hosts often do some good work in front of their fans. They should have the upper hand over the visitors, who are poor on their travels.

Los Angeles FC News

Los Angeles appear to have carried their FIFA Club World Cup struggles into the league after suffering a 1-0 home defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps last time out. They are now winless in their last four matches across all competitions, suffering three defeats in that run.

The good news for Los Angeles is that they had been unbeaten in seven home matches prior to that result and will be keen to set things right. Steven Cherundolo's team have won three of their last four league matches at BMO Stadium.

The first task for Los Angeles is to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in nine of their last 10 matches across all competitions. They have the quality going forward and have scored six of their last eight home goals after the break, while five of their last seven matches at BMO Stadium have produced over 2.5 goals.

Colorado Rapids News

The Colorado Rapids are struggling to find their best form at the moment and are winless in eight of their last 10 matches in the league. Chris Armas' team have lost four of the last six in that run and suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Sporting Kansas in their previous fixture.

Sitting ninth in the table, Colorado Rapids will be keen to get their campaign back on track. However, they will travel to BMO Stadium winless in their last six away matches, losing four times in that run.

Like the hosts, the Colorado Rapids have also struggled to keep things tight at the back and are without a clean sheet in their last seven away matches. They have scored in five matches in that run, with those five fixtures producing over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Los Angeles have nine wins and one draw while Colorado Rapids have picked up five victories from 15 previous matches. The hosts have won the last five home meetings and earned a 1-0 victory in a CONCACAF Champions League clash in February.

Verdict

LAFC v Colorado Rapids

Los Angeles and Colorado Rapids often struggle to keep things tight at the back, and given their quality in attack, both teams are expected to score here. The hosts have earned a win and over 2.5 goals in four of the last five meetings and could be set for a repeat.

All the goals in the last two meetings have come after the break, and that trend is likely to continue here.
