The Colorado Rapids are 7th in the MLS Western Conference; they also qualified for the playoffs last season, but nothing can take away their label as an unpredictable team. They are seventh with a goal difference of -8 in 2025. This year, they have never won three straight matches and failed to do so again when they lost 3-0 in Carson against the LA Galaxy in their last match. However, the Rapids had previously earned two valiant victories against Atlanta United and Minnesota United.

If there's one thing the Colorado Rapids have been consistent about, it's their poor away results; their next match against Kansas City will be one of them. The Rapids haven't won in 10 of their last 11 away matches in Commerce City.

But Colorado has a chance to at least score against Sporting Kansas City, who continue to plummet in the standings. Kansas City was thrashed at Lumen Field by the Seattle Sounders, losing 5-2. The Sounders had an xG of 4.34 against Kansas City, and Toye's goal didn't make much difference.

Our Sporting Kansas City vs Colorado Rapids Prediction

The betting odds indicate doubt about the Colorado Rapids' ability to enhance their road performances, even when facing Kansas City, despite the home team's poor form.

Colorado Rapids will be playing without starting midfielder Ronan due to an ankle injury, with a midfield already hampered by Josh Atencio's previous absence.

Kansas City also has some significant absences, including captain Eick Thommy.

Given the injuries to key midfield players on both teams, the match could feature a back-and-forth, frenetic attacking style of play.

Our prediction for Sporting Kansas City vs Colorado Rapids is: Over 3.5 goals.

Prediction:

 

Over 3.5
