Recent form

Colorado Rapids

The Colorado Rapids are currently 10th in the league with 5 points from 5 games, indicating a challenging start to the season. Their recent form has been inconsistent, with a run of three games without a win (2 losses and 1 draw) followed by a win against Real Salt Lake and a draw against Nashville SC, before losing their most recent match against Houston Dynamo. The Rapids have been involved in some high-scoring games, notably the 4-1 loss to Portland Timbers and the 3-2 defeat against Orlando City in a friendly. With an average of 3 total goals per game and both teams scoring in 80% of their last 6 matches, the Rapids' games have been entertaining, but their defensive vulnerabilities have led to a negative goal difference of -4.

Los Angeles FC

Los Angeles FC's recent form has been mixed, with three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six games. Despite currently sitting 6th in the league table, they have managed to secure 7 points from their first 5 games of the season. The team's most recent match was a standout performance, as they thrashed Nashville SC 5-0 at home, showcasing their attacking prowess. However, prior to that victory, LAFC suffered back-to-back defeats against Minnesota United and Real Salt Lake, failing to score in either game. The team has kept three clean sheets in their last six matches, but they have also been involved in two high-scoring affairs, with their games against Nashville SC and Real Salt Lake featuring over 2.5 goals.

Recent home/away form

Colorado Rapids

Colorado Rapids have had a difficult run of form at home recently, with their last home win coming back on October 1st, 2023 against Austin. Since then, they have suffered three consecutive home defeats against Real Salt Lake, Monarcas, and most recently, Houston Dynamo. The Rapids have also been involved in two high-scoring draws at home, with a 2-2 result against Hartford Athletic in a friendly match and a 1-1 draw against Nashville SC in the league. Their home form has been a concern, as they have only managed to score 5 goals in their last 6 home games while conceding 8, resulting in a negative goal difference of -3.

Los Angeles FC

Los Angeles FC's recent away form has been disappointing, with four losses in their last six games. They are currently on a two-game losing streak, having suffered defeats against Minnesota United (2-0) and Real Salt Lake (3-0). These losses were particularly concerning as they failed to score in either match.
