Colorado Rapids vs LA Galaxy Prediction & Pick

A meeting between the Western Conference's two worst teams should be interesting, to say the least. On one side you have Colorado, which has yet to win at home this season in eight previous tries. On the other sits an LA squad that's just 1-5-3 on the road and hasn't won in general since May 31.

While the Rapids haven't won at home yet, I see that changing this weekend. Colorado already proved that it could beat LA last month, notching a 3-1 victory in a visit to Dignity Health Sports Park. On top of that, Colorado beat LA 2-0 the last time the clubs met at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in July 2022.

LA is a beatable team, especially on the road. If Colorado is ever going to find success in front of its hometown crowd this season, the Rapids won't find a better opportunity than this one.

Final Score Prediction: Colorado: 2 | LA: 1

Colorado Rapids vs LA Galaxy Best Bet

Colorado and LA combining for more than 2.5 goals has been the norm in recent years. The two foes are averaging 3.3 goals in their previous six clashes, finishing with three or more four times — including in last month's meeting.

Furthermore, five of Colorado's last eight games saw more than 2.5 goals while the Over is also 5-3 in LA's previous eight games. In other words, there's a good chance that Saturday's projected total gets surpassed, too.

Bet: Over 2.5 Goals (-122)
