Minnesota United at Colorado Rapids 7/22/2020 - MLS Picks & Predictions

The Colorado Rapids made a great start prior to the break but they have lost both matches in the MLS IS BACK tournament. They now have very few chances to qualify, if any, and they will clash against a much better Minnesota United side on Wednesday. Minnesota United picked up where they left off last season and have yet to lose a single match.

Colorado (0-2-0) are coming into this match after a really upsetting 2-3 loss against Sporting Kansas City. They actually took an early lead in that match but saw a red card at the 61st minute. They conceded twice in the following 12 minutes and even saw another red card at the 73rd. However, they pulled even at the 84th minute, only to concede once again at the 91st to eventually lose by 2-3. They are now at the bottom of the group with 0 points, and only a win could potentially grant them a few slim chances for the 3rd spot.

Minnesota United (1-0-1) played for a very uncharacteristic goal-less draw against Real Salt Lake. It was a really balanced match that lacked creativity from both sides, who eventually settled for a goal each. That was the first match in their last five that they failed to score, and the first in their last nine that they kept a clean sheet. All previous three matches this season featured goals from both sides and a total of at least three goals.
