Two of the more out-of-form Major League Soccer sides will clash at Dick's Sporting Goods Park on Wednesday evening. The Rapids enter this stage of the season without a win in their last four, two of which they've lost. As a result, they find themselves on the cusp of the postseason. Put it this way, they need a few more wins to be sure of their play-off spot. The Loons are in a worse position regarding the playoffs. They'll need to do a lot more than they have recently to force their way into the all-important postseason. 

At the time of writing, Morgan Whittaker is available at odds of +230 (Fanatics) to find the net in this game, and if we look at the hugely encouraging efforts of the new signing in recent weeks, such odds look too good to turn down. The forward has hit the ground running in Colorado, scoring two goals in five appearances, and above all, he looks hungry for more.

Colorado Rapids - Minnesota United Key Points

  1. In two MLS starts for Colorado at home, Morgan Whittaker has scored two goals.
  2. In each of his four starts for Colorado, Morgan Whittaker has taken multiple shots.

Our Colorado Rapids vs Minnesota United Prediction

Since arriving from EFL Championship team Middlesbrough, Morgan Whittaker has started to enjoy himself in Colorado, where he's already scored two goals in two home MLS games for the Rapids. Pacey, direct and with a clear eye for goal, the English forward has played with a serious hunger of late, getting himself into some great shooting positions, pulling the trigger with accuracy, so much so that he really should be considered a more likely scorer against a very weak Loons defense. 

Simply, odds of +230 don't accurately reflect Whittaker's threat. Value seekers should bet on the newbie to notch at anything bigger than +175.
