LA Galaxy not only sit bottom of the Western Conference ladder but Saturday’s hosts also find themselves propping up the entire MLS table ahead of this upcoming encounter against play-off hopefuls Colorado Rapids when the two sides face off at Dignity Health Sports Park.
Recent results in the North & Central American Leagues Cup have been fairly encouraging for Greg Vanney’s side as LA Galaxy were unbeaten in the group stage which included wins against Tijuana and Santos.
The Galaxy were also victorious in their quarter-final encounter against Pachuca but on the domestic MLS front, the hosts have really struggled; indeed, the hosts have managed to capture just three wins throughout this season’s MLS campaign and they have failed to win any of their last six games, slipping to four defeats.
Colorado Rapids produced a mixed bag of results in the Leagues Cup with a win, draw and a loss but the visitors may feel they have bigger fish to fry as they look to close in on securing a place in the forthcoming play-offs in the MLS.
Colorado sit in 7th place in the Western Conference ladder but the visitors know they must continue picking up points each week with the likes of Austin and San Jose Earthquakes breathing down their proverbial necks.
The Rapids have won their last two games on the trot in the MLS as Chris Armas’ side have collected valuable victories in recent weeks against Minnesota United and Atlanta United in 2-1 and 3-1 wins respectively.
The Betting Verdict
Colorado Rapids won the previous fixture against LA Galaxy 2-0 at home and the visitors look capable of at least holding their own in this upcoming road trip.
The Pick :
LA Galaxy 1-2 Colorado Rapids
