Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on Colorado Rapids?
The Colorado Rapids are experiencing a catastrophic season, occupying the last position in the Western Conference with only 19 points, 15 points away from the wild card.
Their last presentation ended with a 2-0 defeat visiting Real Salt Lake and the worst thing is that they have now gone five games without scoring a goal, the same time the DSG Park team has gone without a win.
With 16 goals, Colorado is the worst offense in MLS and has a goal difference of -23. They are also the worst home team in the league, with one win in 12 games and only seven goals.
Coach Chris Little has injured defender Alex Gersbach, Brazilian midfielder Max, and English attacker Jack Price.
Why Bet on the New England Revolution?
New England Revolution is the other side of the coin, as it is second in the Eastern Conference with 48 points, nine points behind the leader, FC Cincinnati.
In their last outing, the Foxborough team drew 1-1 with Minnesota United and had their goal scorer in Spaniard Carles Gil. Revolution have drawn in their last two matches, but are unbeaten in three games and have lost just one of their last six MLS matches.
The New Englanders have 14 points in 13 away games, with three wins, five draws, and five losses. They have scored just 14 goals and conceded 20, which speaks clearly that away from home the defense has not been up to the task.
Spaniard Gil, with eight goals, is the team’s leading scorer, followed by Bobby Wood’s seven.
Interim coach Richie Williams’ squad has injured defender Henry Kessier and Colombian midfielder Dylan Borrero. The latter out for the remainder of the season.
