Of the 7 meetings between the two teams in Major League Soccer, two wins have gone to the Colorado Rapids, while LAFC has triumphed in five meetings.
However, if you look at the data of the duels in all the competitions that both clubs have played at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, the Rapids' home ground, the club coached by Robin Fraser has been a very tough opponent at this venue.
Of the three meetings between the two teams at this venue, only one victory has gone to Steve Cherundolo's team, while two wins have gone to the Rapids.
According to the available data for both teams, the likely winner of the match will be the Los Angeles Football Club, which has a 41% chance of winning the match, while the Rapids have only a 33% chance of taking the victory at home.
In addition, the possibility of a draw is very strong as this outcome has a 26% chance of occurring.
Probable score: Colorado 1-2 LAFC.
Robin Fraser's Rapids are in a bit of a slump because Minnesota United beat them 2-1 in the US Open Cup 2022, a tournament that these clubs play in parallel to Major League Soccer.
In the match played at Allianz Field, the home of United, the goals for the home team were scored by Abu Danladi in the 7th minute and Emanuel Reynoso in the 43rd minute, while the away goal was scored by Nicolás Mezquida in the 15th minute.
However, Rapids need to get back on track as they go against one of the clubs fighting for the MLS leadership in the Western Conference.
The club's players have done such a good job scoring that they have managed to make invisible the problem they have: the goal drought of Carlos Vela, who has not scored since Week 4.
In that week, he scored 1 goal against the Vancouver Whitecaps, with the score ending 3-1. And since the rest of the team has been performing well, the problem seems not to be serious for now, but in the future, it will be.
Vela started the tournament with an incredible scoring streak and in his first game, he scored a hat-trick. But now the minutes are passing and he has not scored, so he is facing a lack of goals similar to last year.
However, last year he struggled with injuries, and this year, no one knows why, but Carlos Vela simply does not score and could become a big problem for his club in the future.
