Colorado Rapids vs Austin FC Predictions

Rapids home run to continue

Colorado Rapids should be backed to win at home to Austin. Four of Colorado Rapids’ last six MLS home games have been wins, while Austin have lost four of their last five away.

The hosts have a slight edge in the standings, with Colorado Rapids sitting on 22 points from their 16 games and Austin on 20 points from their 17. The visitors have recorded five wins, five draws and seven losses, while Colorado have won six times, drawn four and lost six.

The hosts have a good record defensively against Austin, having kept three clean sheets in the last four MLS meetings between the teams.

The visitors have been disappointing in front of goal away from home this season, scoring just five goals in eight games – an average of 0.63 goals a game on the road.

Austin defence is also a concern, with them conceding in each of their last five MLS road games.

Colorado Rapids may be able to edge out Austin in a closely-fought game, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. Four of Austin last six MLS games have ended with both sides scoring and Colorado have won two of their last three by the odd goal.
