LAFC vs Colorado Rapids Preview & Picks
LAFC hammered the Seattle Sounders 3-0 in their last match as they secured their place in the semi-finals in style.
The Colorado Rapids had to grind their way past Club America as they won 9-8 on penalties following a goalless draw.
- LAFC have won their last three matches
- The Rapids have seen 2.5 goals or more scored in two of their last three
- LAFC have seen over 2.5 goals scored in their last two
Head-To-Head
LAFC have won five of their last 10 against the Rapids, with the latter winning four times and one game ending as a draw.
LAFC Form
LAFC were outstanding in their last match as they saw-off the Seattle Sounders in a stunning 3-0 win.
Winning this potentially tricky match in such comfortable style shows how good LAFC really are, with the clean sheet of particular importance as they look to prove they are as defensively sound as they are incisive going forward.
With three goals or more scored in the last three meetings between the sides, this one could end in an entertaining match as the two sides do everything they can to ensure they are in the final.
Colorado Rapids Form
The Colorado Rapids were lucky to come away with the win in their quarter-final in the Leagues Cup as they beat Club America on penalties.
Despite coming away with the win, the Rapids were completely outplayed in the quarter-final. Club America enjoyed 61% of the ball, while they took 20 shots to Colorado's seven. While the Rapids did win, few would argue they showed much real intent going forward.
While we do back the Rapids to have more of a go in the semi-final, their lack of attacking incision going forward will likely hurt them as they slip to defeat in the last-four.
Verdict
We are backing over 2.5 goals in this one as LAFC win to move to within one win of the Leagues Cup trophy.
