Minnesota United vs Colorado Rapids Predictions

Minnesota United will be looking to put in a much better performance following a heavy 5-3 defeat away at Dallas last time out, while visiting Colorado Rapids go in search of a third straight win in the MLS.

The history between these two clubs and their most recent performances in the MLS suggest that Colorado Rapids are in with a great chance of picking up a positive result from Thursday’s clash. The visitors have only lost one of their previous five encounters with Minnesota United and have won their last three games against this particular opponent. Colorado Rapids won 1-0 when the teams last locked horns in June and have now scored an average of two goals past Minnesota United in their last three meetings.

Colorado Rapids have also won their last two league games against SJ Earthquakes and Montreal Impact, with both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals being produced on each occasion. Minnesota United lost an eight-goal thriller 5-3 away at Dallas in their last game, which brought an end to their four-game unbeaten run and means that in their last three matches, Thursday’s hosts have conceded an average of two goals.

The two clubs have each looked sharp in front of goal over the last month but have kept many clean sheets at the same time. Both teams scored in five of Colorado Rapids’ last six and three of Minnesota United’s last five matches, with Thursday’s guests failing to keep a clean sheet during that period.

We’re confident that a double chance bet on Colorado Rapids will payout on Thursday and have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1. Colorado Rapids have a very good record against their hosts and head into the match with back to back MLS wins behind them, but Minnesota United have only lost two of their last six matches and won’t be easy to beat. Although we are expecting a Colorado Rapids win, the double chance bet means that even if the teams draw, the bet still pays out in full.
