Colorado Rapids Preview – Can the Rapids secure a much-needed three points?
Robin Fraser’s Colorado Rapids have found it tough going in the Western Conference up until now. They have played just eight games, winning two, drawing three and losing three. The Rapids are in 11th position at present, level on points with bottom club San Jose Earthquakes.
Colorado started their season in stunning style, securing back-to-back wins over DC United and Orlando City. However, since the season was disrupted, the Rapids have struggled to hit their stride, failing to win any of their past six. Fraser’s side have fallen down the table at an alarming rate of knots since the season resumed.
However, after losing three of four, Colorado have battled to draws in each of their last two. They held high-flying Kansas City to a 1-1 draw at home before picking up a 1-1 draw in San Jose last weekend.
Houston Dynamo Preview – Orange Crush to make it four wins on the spin?
Houston Dynamo are one of the form teams of MLS at the moment. Since losing to Portland Timbers in the ESPN World of Sports Complex back in July, the Dynamo are unbeaten in five, winning three and drawing two.
Orange Crush have taken nine points from the last nine on offer. They have beaten Kansas City both home away, with a 3-0 home victory over Minnesota United sandwiched in between. Their superb upswing in results has lifted them up to sixth in the table. Ahead of the midweek fixtures, Tab Ramos’ troops are only four points adrift of Western Conference leaders Sporting Kansas.

Colorado Rapids vs Houston Dynamo Betting Advice
The pair were involved in two high-scoring matches in the 2019-20 MLS season. Houston sealed a stunning 4-1 victory in Colorado back in March ’19, while they played out a thrilling four-goal draw in Texas in August last term. Two Mauro Manotas goals cancelled out Diego Rubio’s brace in the 2-2 draw at BBVA Stadium.
Key Facts – Colorado Rapids vs Houston Dynamo Betting Tip
- Dynamo are unbeaten in four against Colorado, winning two and drawing two
- Nine goals were scored in the two league meetings last term
- Houston are going for four wins in a row, while the Rapids have not won since March
I am predicting another goal fest between these two on Thursday. Colorado will be desperate for a positive result on home soil, but I can see in-form Houston being too strong for the Rapids. With that in mind, put some money on the away team to win -2 at the generous price of 12/1.
