Colorado Rapids of the Western Conference take on Chicago Fire of the Eastern Conference looking to cement a spot in the MLS playoffs. With two games of the regular season to go, if the Rapids were to win this match it would almost certainly be enough for at least a wild card spot. They face a Chicago Fire side who have all but secured their playoff place and still have a chance of earning a qualifying spot in the CONCACAF Champions Cup. There's a lot to play for for both sides, making this match an intriguing one.
The Rapids head into this one in better form than their opponents. They're unbeaten in five, although they drew four of them. As for the Fire, they've been more inconsistent. The Fire have won three of their last six, losing two and drawing one. They have, though, only won six gmes on the road this season and they face a side with the third best home record this campaign.
For our prediction, we're looking at the Moneyline market. We're expecting a close game, but one that the Rapids will just edge.
