Having got the job done when last in action, winning at home for the second game on the spin, the Colorado Rapids will be looking to move towards the all-important play-off spots on Saturday. In front of a home crowd, they'll take on a Sporting Kansas City team that already seems out of the postseason race. The visitors sit at the foot of the Western Conference right now.
At odds of -143, 'Under 3.5 Goals' rates as a viable betting option. Let's face it, neither team has scored an abundance of goals in recent weeks, making this a game that both will likely target as one to do well in defensively. At home especially, the hosts have done a decent job of keeping the goals down, winning each of their last two games at Dick's Sporting Goods Park by a goal to zero. They've regularly been involved in low-scoring games in front of a home crowd, to the point where a relative lack of goals seems more likely than early odds of -143 may indicate.

Our Colorado Rapids vs Sporting Kansas City Prediction
Looking at the key numbers above, we can see that there's lots to suggest that a relatively low-scoring game is a little more likely to unfold at Dick's Sporting Goods Park than the early odds would have us believe. Quite simply, the early market seems to be overestimating the chances of a high-scorer.
The hosts don't score many goals at home, and they don't concede many either. If we factor in that the visitors often misfire on the road, then a relatively low-scoring game really does start to appeal, especially at odds of -143.
