Colorado Rapids at Los Angeles FC 5/22/21 - MLS Picks & Predictions

Los Angeles FC were sliding badly since the injury to Carlos Vela, but even his return against Seattle wasn’t enough to turn things around. They now need to return to winning ways when they will host Colorado on Saturday. Colorado are coming in hot after three consecutive wins and this could be dangerous for LAFC.

LAFC (1-2-2) are coming off a 2-0 loss on the road against Seattle, which was a pretty balanced match between the two. However, the Sounders scored at the 57th and 73rd minute for the final 2-0. Vela played 20 minutes towards the end of the match and should be ready for the next. They need a win here, as they are currently sitting at the bottom of the Western Conference with just 5 points after 5 matches, scoring 5 goals and conceding 6 in the process.

Colorado (3-1-1) might have started the season with just 1 point in their first two matches, but they have won all 3 ever since. In their last match they did a great job at home against Houston, beating them by 3-1. All 4 goals were scored in the first half but Colorado did not have a single shot in the second. Even so, they are sitting at the 4th spot of the Western Conference with 10 points, scoring 8 goals and conceding 6 in the process. 4 of their 6 matches so far had goals from both sides and Over 3.5 Goals.
