RSL reignited their playoff push last weekend with a crucial 3-1 home win over Austin FC. That victory snapped a poor run of form which had seen Pablo Mastroeni’s side lose five of their previous six matches.
With 37 points from 31 games, they sit just one point off ninth place and will be desperate to build on last weekend’s momentum in front of their fans.

O/U: Under 2.5
The Rapids’ form has faltered in recent weeks. Chris Armas’ men were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Minnesota United last time out and have now failed to win four of their last five games (3L, 1D).
Despite the setback, Colorado remain in the playoff spots in 8th place on 39 points, but their recent away struggles cast doubts ahead of this high-pressure fixture.
