Prediction

• Greg Vanney's side set up in a 4-2-3-1 and control possession while remaining dangerous on the break.
• Matt Wells' Rapids press high and play on the front foot, which should make the tempo ebb and flow.
• Hosts have the quality to edge it, but Colorado's press and recent H2H win mean it could be tight.
