Colorado host Dallas at Dick's Sporting Goods Park on Sunday, as the visitors attempt to climb back into the play-off spots.
Colorado have struggled for results this season and are currently second from bottom in the Western Conference. At this stage of the season, the Rapids have very little to play for but pride.
The Denver outfit have been poor in MLS of late, as they have won just two of their last 14 games in MLS, suffering eight defeats in the process. However, one of those wins was last time out in MLS, as the home side recorded a 2-1 win over Montreal Impact on home soil.
The Rapids home form has not been much better than their general MLS form, as they have won just two of their last seven games on home soil in the American top-flight. However, their recent home games have been relatively high scoring in MLS, with over 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last nine outings.
Dallas are still in contention for a play-off place in the Western Conference, despite a run of just one victory in their last 12 MLS outings. The visitors are actually level on points with sixth place Real Salt Lake and the San Jose Earthquakes. They have also played a game fewer than the two teams above them.
Dallas’ strong start to their MLS campaign has certainly now dissipated and Oscar Pareja team are now desperate just to earn a play-off spot. Last time out in MLS, the visitors were held to a goalless draw in Orlando.
Pareja’s side have been poor on the road of late in MLS, winning just one of their last 11 away games in the American top-flight. A big problem for the visitors on their travels recently has been conceding goals, as they have now conceded two or more goals in five of their last six away games in MLS.
Forebet predicts that these two teams will cancel each other out and the game will end in a draw.
