Following defeat in the Leagues Cup to Liga MX team Toluca, the Austin FC boys have bounced back nicely, defeating the Portland Timbers away from home, before tying with the San Jose Earthquakes at home. They're now unbeaten in four league games and take on a Colorado Rapids team that continues to flounder on the road.
We may be talking about an Austin FC team that is without a home win in three league games, but that simple fact doesn't tell the whole story. In each of their last two at home, they've been the better team and could easily have won, so don't be surprised if the hosts get the better of Rapids team that has found it very tough to get going away from home this season. Betting on the home win at odds of +150 is the smart move here.

Our Austin FC vs Colorado Rapids Prediction
As mentioned above, the hosts have been a little unlucky in their last two at home, neither of which they've lost, with them bettering each of those two opponents in terms of xG, which tells us that they really should do a better job of seeing off the Colorado Rapids than the early odds of +150 would have us believe.
Under the temporary leadership of Davy Arnaud, the Verde and Black have typically outplayed teams at home, while the recent efforts of the Rapids on the road don't exactly point towards anything other than a home win, which all things considered, is too generously priced to ignore. A more accurate price would be +105. Anything bigger and we're getting clear value for money.
