Home: Colorado Rapids
- Colorado have won 9, drawn 1 and lost 3 of 13 home games in MLS 2026, averaging 1.92 goals per game.
- Colorado have won one, drawn two and lost two in their last five across all competitions, but that includes a 2-3 away defeat to Los Angeles Galaxy.
Away: San Jose Earthquakes
- San Jose have won 7, drawn 3 and lost 3 of 13 away games in MLS 2026.
- The Quakes arrive in better form, remaining unbeaten in their last five, and having won three and drawn two.
- Bruce Arena has been in charge of the visitors since 1st January, 2025 while Matt Wells has led Colorado since 23rd December of the same year.
Head-to-Head
The last five head-to-head meetings have seen Colorado win three of the five meetings, with San Jose taking two, so this game doesn't seem to have a draw in it.
Key Players
Beau Leroux has been a big spark for San Jose with four assists in their last five while Paxten Aaronson has found some good form of late, finding the net three times in the Rapids' last five.
Betting Insights
- Colorado are a little under the odds at 1.97, but given San Jose are in such good form, with the draw at 3.85, that's the recommendation in the outright market.
- San Jose have conceded just 17 goals in their 13 away matches in MLS 2026, so they've been very solid on the road this season.
- This should be a relatively open game, but with the two best players in the teams not quite at the level of the best in MLS 2026, over 2.5 goals at 1.55 and both teams to score at 1.48 looks the way to go.
Prediction
- The Rapids have the home field advantage, but the visitors have taken the spoils when coming here two times in their last three meetings, so we're expecting a close contest in this Western Conference derby clash.
- San Jose's tempo and runners should lead to some turnovers and rapid counter-attacks, but Colorado's possession soccer should get plenty of the ball in the final third and should break through the Quakes' high press.
