Los Angeles Preview – Will Bradley’s boys end four-game winless run?
Bob Bradley’s Los Angeles have had a tough start to their 2021 MLS season. The Black and Gold opened with a 2-0 win over Austin at the Banc of California Stadium, with Corey Baird and Jose Cifuentes getting the goals. However, it has gone downhill from then on.
They battled to two 1-1 draws with Seattle Sounders and Houston before suffering back-to-back losses. After a 2-1 reverse to LA Galaxy in the Los Angeles derby, LA were beaten by Seattle at Lumen Field last time out.
LA will be desperate to shrug off their poor form and get back to winning ways as quickly as possible. As we mentioned, the Black and Gold start the weekend at the foot of the Western table.
Colorado Rapids Preview – Can Colorado make it four wins on the bounce?
Robin Fraser’s Colorado Rapids have settled into the season after a slow start. The Rapids began their MLS campaign with a 0-0 draw with Dallas before suffering a disappointing 3-1 home reverse to Austin.
However, Fraser’s troops have really got their act together since, winning the next three. Colorado have sealed successive victories over Vancouver Whitecaps, Minnesota United and Houston to fire themselves into fourth. They could go as high as second if results go their way this weekend.
