Colorado Rapids vs New England Revolution Predictions

After slow starts to the new season, Colorado Rapids and New England having picked up three wins, two draws, and suffering just one defeat in their last six matches across league and cup which is bound to have had a positive effect on both squads who at one stage looked completely unable to compete in their respective Conference.

Colorado Rapids were outplayed for large spells of their home game against LAFC and ended the game with just 36% of the overall possession. However, a solitary forty-ninth minute goal from centre back Wilson proved enough for Colorado Rapids to secure an impressive 1-0 win over the Eastern Conference league leaders.

New England trailed Houston Dynamo at the break last weekend but the hosts responded well in the second forty-five and levelled the scores in the fifty-first minute through Mlinar Delamea. The hosts pushed forward in search of the winning goal and in the final minute substitute Bunbury scored to earn the home side a deserved victory.

The performances of both sides heading into Friday’s match, their recent head to head record, and each is last results at home and on the road, suggests that Colorado Rapids are the team to back to win, but that we should expect a very tight and tense ninety minutes. Colorado Rapids have won three of their last seven encounters against New England, and two of those victories arrived at home, and three of the last four league games between the pair have produced under 2.5 goals. Colorado Rapids have won three of their last four matches in the MLS. New England lost their last away game against Orlando City in the US Open Cup, while Colorado Rapids won their last home game in the MLS against LAFC. the hosts have kept two clean sheets in their last three MLS games and their guests have conceded in each of their last six matches in all competitions, which is why we’re backing a 1-0 win for Colorado Rapids on Friday.

Kamara top scores for Colorado Rapids this season with eight MLS goals, while Gil still leads the way for New England with four goals in the league so far. We’re confident that Colorado Rapids will continue their good form with a 1-0 win over New England because the hosts look strong in their backyard right now and their guests were beaten by Orlando City in their last away game, but do expect a very close match between the pair.
