Los Angeles Galaxy vs Colorado Rapids Prediction & Betting Tips | 27/10/2024 | Football

Our prediction for this MLS match:

Los Angeles Galaxy

Los Angeles Galaxy

Colorado Rapids

Colorado Rapids

Los Angeles Galaxy will be aiming to recover from a 2-1 loss to Houston Dynamo when they take on Colorado Rapids in the MLS playoffs last 16, first leg. LA Galaxy are seen as hot favourites to win Sunday’s clash, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but all Caceres, Paintsil, and Reus remain doubtful. You should know that Greg Vanney’s troops are on a seven-game winning run at home ground.

The Rapids, on the other hand, continue to struggle on the travels and given their three-game losing streak on the road, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. In their last meeting at Dignity Health Sports Park Los Angeles Galaxy defeated Colorado Rapids 3-2. The likes of Zack Steffen, Michael Edwards, and Cole Bassett miss out with injuries for the away team.

Prediction:
3-2

Highlighted Team (Los Angeles Galaxy):

Los Angeles Galaxy

Los Angeles Galaxy are probably the most famous American soccer club. The club have been participating in the MLS since 1996 and San Jose Earthquakes are considered their bitterest rivals. A number of top-class players were part of the team in the past, but, no doubt, David Beckham is the club’s most significant star. The former Manchester United star played for LA Galaxy from 2007 to 2012 and he scored 18 goals in 98 appearances in the league for the club.

Fellow England international Steven Gerrard is yet another Premier League ace who joined LA Galaxy. Stevie G signed a $9 million deal with the club in June, 2015. One year before he arrived to Los Angeles, the Galaxy won their fifth MLS Cup, with the team beating New England Revolution (2-1) in the final of the tournament, but winning the CONCACAF Champions League in 2000 is considered the club’s biggest success. The MLS outfit outplayed Olimpia of Honduras in the title game, with Ezra Hendrickson scoring the winning goal ten minutes before the final whistle.

Los Angeles Galaxy play their home games at StubHub Center, the stadium that was opened on June 1, 2003. The capacity of the venue is 27.000.
