Colorado Rapids vs Minnesota United tips and predictions

Lots of questions for Minnesota United

With 1 MLS points, 13th placed Colorado Rapids host seventh placed Minnesota United. The visitors are just ahead of them with 4 points.

Some people will expect to see Colorado Rapids score seven times here but in terms of value-betting, they cannot be recommended.

The hosts have looked out of sorts in some of their latest outings. Colorado Rapids's recent performances should be analysed. They've been goalless in all of their last 3 games which is a fact that might give some hope to supporters of the unfancied side. Colorado Rapids's occasional lapses in concentration have not gone unpunished. They need to be better when clearing their lines. Letting in an average of 2.1 goals across their latest 17 games has given them pause for thought.

Minnesota United have actually won 5 of their last 11 trips away. Impressively, they've scored three or more goals in 3 of their last 11 away fixtures. If they're to have any chance of success they'll be desperate to add to that run. If the away team hits their straps they might just do this. Their recent defensive prowess could be a key for them too. They have conceded no more than once in all of their last 4 matches.

The outright win might be unrealistic but they can grab something here. The sportsbooks are predicting goals at both ends of the park despite the favouritism for Colorado Rapids. It's not a strong view and it might not be that exciting but the BTTS No looks more tempting on this occasion.
