Colorado returned to winning ways with a nice win over LAFC and extended their undefeated streak. They will now look to extend that streak when they will host New England on Thursday. New England have also been in solid shape lately and have an undefeated streak of their own.

Colorado (5-9-4) are coming off a really slim 0-1 home win over LAFC, in a match where they really fought to preserve their lead. Colorado are now undefeated in their last seven MLS matches (5-0-2), also keeping three clean sheets in the process. They are sitting at the 11th spot of the Western Conference with 19 points, five behind the playoffs. Colorado have been mediocre at home so far (4-4-2) but have won each of their last four for the MLS.
New England (5-8-5) did a great job to overturn the lead in their home match against Houston, and eventually won by 1-2 thanks to a late goal. They have not lost any of their last six MLS matches (3-0-3) but have kept just one clean sheet in that span. New England are now sitting 9th in the Eastern Conference with 20 points, three behind the playoffs. They have not been anything special on the road so far (1-4-3), with their only win coming against the LA Galaxy.

New England won by 1-2 at home last season and have now won four of the last five matches against Colorado (4-1-0). But Colorado have been excellent as hosts over the years (11-3-5) and have lost just once here since 2001 (8-1-4). Going with the home win here.
