Colorado Rapids 1-4 LA Galaxy

Current streaks

Recent form

Colorado Rapids

The Colorado Rapids are currently enduring a dreadful run of form, having lost their last five matches in a row after a solitary win against Toronto FC. This losing streak has seen them concede a whopping 15 goals whilst only managing to score 5, highlighting their defensive frailties. The Rapids have been particularly poor away from home, suffering heavy defeats to LA Galaxy (5-0) and Minnesota United (3-0). Their last clean sheet came in their only victory during this period, a 2-0 win over Toronto FC. Despite their current 7th place position in the league, the Rapids' recent form is cause for concern, with two-thirds of their last six matches seeing over 2.5 goals scored, often to their detriment. The team's defensive record is particularly alarming, conceding an average of 2.5 goals per game over this period.

LA Galaxy

LA Galaxy have shown impressive form recently, with four wins in their last six matches, including a notable run of three consecutive victories. Their most recent result, a 5-0 thrashing of Colorado Rapids, stands out as a particularly high-scoring game and their only clean sheet in this period. The Galaxy's attacking prowess is evident, having scored 17 goals in their last six matches, averaging an impressive 2.83 goals per game. Their matches have been action-packed, with over 2.5 goals occurring in all six games and both teams scoring in 83% of them. Despite conceding 10 goals, their positive goal difference of 7 underlines their offensive strength. Currently sitting in 2nd position with 64 points from 34 games, LA Galaxy's recent form suggests they are a formidable force in the Major League Soccer.

Recent home/away form

Colorado Rapids

The Colorado Rapids have shown mixed form at home recently, with a notable run of three consecutive victories followed by two losses in their last five matches. Their home performances have been characterised by relatively high-scoring affairs, with an average of 2.83 goals per game across their last six encounters. Interestingly, both teams have scored in two-thirds of these matches, highlighting the Rapids' ability to find the net whilst also struggling to keep clean sheets. Despite their recent dip in form, the Rapids have managed to maintain a positive goal difference and have scored an average of 1.5 goals per game, demonstrating their attacking prowess at home. The standout match in this period was their 3-2 victory over Real Salt Lake, which exemplifies their tendency towards entertaining, goal-laden contests.

LA Galaxy

LA Galaxy's recent away form has been notably poor, with the team experiencing a concerning run of three consecutive defeats in their last four away matches. Despite their high league position, their away performances have been lacklustre, conceding an average of 2.33 goals per game whilst failing to keep a single clean sheet in their last six away fixtures. The Galaxy have been involved in some high-scoring encounters, with all of their recent away games featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams finding the net. Their 4-2 loss to Portland Timbers stands out as a particularly goal-laden affair. Interestingly, despite their struggles, LA Galaxy have managed to score in every away game during this period, suggesting their attacking prowess remains intact even as their defence falters on the road.
