Colorado Rapids Preview – Rapids to return to winning ways?
Colorado Rapids have made a mixed start to their 2021 season, but boss Robin Fraser will be relatively pleased with their progress. After six MLS matches, the Rapids have won three, drawn one and lost two.
They kicked off their campaign with a draw with Dallas before a 3-1 home defeat to Austin. However, they hit back in style, going on to seal successive victories over Vancouver Whitecaps, Minnesota United and Houston. Unfortunately for Fraser and his men, they were narrowly beaten on the road by Los Angeles last time out.
Colorado have won their last two at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, beating Minnesota 3-2 and Houston 3-1. Can they claim a third straight home victory at the weekend? Three points could take them as high as second in the Western Conference table.
Dallas Preview – Toros’ winless run to stretch to four?
Ahead of this round of MLS fixtures, Dallas currently occupy 11th place in the Western table after an indifferent start to their campaign. They are the only team in the West to have picked up just one win, but the Toros have only suffered two losses, with their goal difference keeping them off the foot of the table.
Since thumping Portland Timbers 4-1 on matchday three, which remains their one and only win this season, Dallas have taken just two points from their following three games. Last time out, they conceded with four minutes to play to draw 2-2 at home with Real Salt Lake.

Key Facts – Colorado Rapids vs Dallas Betting Tip

Colorado have started well, winning 50% of their six matches, and we fancy the Rapids to make home advantage count in this one. Colorado stopped Dallas from scoring at Toyota Stadium back in April, and the hosts are priced at 5/2 to win to nil this Sunday.
Young Cole Bassett has netted in wins over Minnesota and Houston this term. The 19-year-old will be keen to add to those two strikes with a third of the season this weekend. Back Bassett to open the scoring here at the top odds of 13/2.
