Colorado Rapids and Austin FC will face off at the Dick’s Sporting Goods Park for this upcoming all-Western Conference clash with just two league places and two points separating the two sides in the race for a place in the Finals series at the end of the season.
Having previously slipped to a 2-1 loss on the road at Portland Timbers in the MLS, Colorado Rapids will no doubt be keen to return to the home surroundings of their Dick’s Sporting Goods Park for this upcoming encounter, especially as the hosts had racked up back-to-back home wins beforehand.
Indeed, recent home victories against St Louis and Real Salt Lake, both by 1-0 margins, have helped Colorado Rapids up into one of the play-off spots but a greater prize of automatic entry into the Finals Series could be within Colorado’s grasp if they can pick up all three points here.
With a home record standing at 4-3-2 11/11 and being dealt just one loss in their last six home games, the hosts look to have a decent chance of a result here.
Austin FC occupy 10th place in the Western Conference table and two points adrift of their upcoming hosts but the visitors have stumbled in recent times in the MLS as Nico Estevez’s side have failed to win any of their last eight games overall.
Points picked up in four draws have been overshadowed by being dealt four defeats at the hands of Houston Dynamo, Minnesota United, Cincinnati and San Diego FC respectively, three of which were incurred on their travels.
Indeed, a rather ordinary away record of 2-1-5 5/13 also suggests the visitors could face further problems on the road against Colorado Rapids.
The Betting Verdict
Colorado Rapids have held the upper hand in previous meetings against Austin FC, losing just three of the last 10 encounters whilst collecting five wins in the process.
The Pick :
Colorado Rapids 2-1 Austin FC
