An early red card for Holding limited Colorado Rapids' attacking options in their previous match; the defender got himself sent off as early as the 12th minute to prevent a one-on-one opportunity. Colorado kept a clean sheet for much of the game. However, they couldn't hold on any longer after the 83rd minute and conceded the winning goal. Colorado and Austin FC are near the bottom of the Western Conference and will face each other on Saturday at Dick Sporting Goods Park.
With that loss, Colorado reached 10 defeats in this MLS season; furthermore, they haven't scored two or more goals in a single MLS match since April. Austin FC has also had a lackluster season and is coming off a 3-0 defeat in the Texas derby against the Houston Dynamo. The Greens finished sixth last season and made the playoffs; this year they look far from that.
In MLS, Austin FC has not only lost but has also been thrashed in their last three matches by San Diego, St. Louis, and now Houston.

Our Colorado Rapids vs Austin FC Prediction
The next match between these two teams, both currently outside the playoff positions, is likely to be a low-scoring affair. This was the case in their two previous encounters in 2025, where Austin lost 0-1 at Q2 Stadium but won 0-2 in Colorado.
Brandon Vazquez could feature at the heart of Austin's attack, but the American is still searching for his first goal of the year, while none of Colorado's last nine matches have seen more than 3.5 goals.
Our prediction for Colorado Rapids vs Austin FC is: Under 2.5 goals.
