Recent form

Colorado Rapids

The Colorado Rapids are showing promising form, currently sitting 4th in the league with 44 points from 27 games. Their recent performances have been impressive, with 3 wins, 2 draws, and only 1 loss in their last 6 matches. The team has been involved in high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent games featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in 67% of matches. Their offensive output has been solid, averaging 1.67 goals per game, but their defense has been somewhat leaky, conceding 1.83 goals per game. Notably, their latest match against FC Dallas was a thrilling 3-2 victory, showcasing their ability to win in high-scoring encounters. The Rapids have also shown resilience in cup competitions, securing a draw against Club América and a win against Toluca in the Leagues Cup. However, their 4-0 loss to Los Angeles FC stands out as a significant setback amidst their otherwise positive run of form.

Portland Timbers

The Portland Timbers have shown inconsistent form recently, with their last six games yielding three wins, one draw, and two losses. Notably, there have been some high-scoring matches, particularly the thrilling 4-4 draw against St. Louis CITY and the impressive 4-0 victory over Colorado Rapids. The team's offensive prowess is evident, having scored 14 goals in their last six games (2.33 goals per game), but their defense has been somewhat leaky, conceding 11 goals (1.83 per game). The Timbers' games have been exciting for neutrals, with 83% of their recent matches seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in 67% of the games. Their 8th position in the league table with 40 points from 27 games suggests they are in mid-table form, but their recent goal-scoring ability could be a positive sign for future matches.
