The Sporting Kansas City squad is going to face the Colorado Rapids in this game. However, one thing that the Kansas team has going for them is the fact that they are sitting a point over the Rapids in the standings. Sporting Kansas City is looking for a win to break their losing streak that has developed recently for the Kansas City team as they were blown out by Los Angeles 7-2.

Felipe Gutierrez is the leading goal scorer for the Sporting K.C. team with 12 goals and 3 assist. The second leading scorer for the Kansas City squad is Johnny Russell who has put in 9 goals with a total of 7 assist on the year. Kansas City has scored a total of 44 goals on the year, but have allowed 54 goals this year so far.

Colorado has been able to play some great games on the year, but have had some trouble closing out the games. The last game out for the Rapids was a loss, but it was a 3-2 loss to Toronto. The game before that, the Rapids were able to beat the Los Angeles team, the same one that put in 7 goals against Sporting, by a score of 2-1 and that definitely will give the Rapids a boost in confidence.

Kei Kamara is the leading goal scorer for the Rapids with 11 goals, but only has managed to get a single assist on the year. Diego Rubio has put in a total of 9 goals on the year, but has managed to put in 4 assist as well.  This year the Rapids have scored a total of 51 goals on the year, but have allowed 58 goals on the season.

The Sporting Kansas City squad has a defense that is not that great. However, the Colorado Rapids defense is playing just as poorly as the Kansas team. The difference is the Rapids are able to score goals and that is what make the difference in this game as the Rapids are able to exploit a very weak Sporting Kansas City defense and bring home a decent win. Final Score Prediction, Colorado Rapids win 3-1.
