We are eager to enter the 6th matchday in the regular MLS season, as we are getting remarkable clashes all over the board. Things at the top of both conferences remain tight, with no team making a relevant leap over the rest of the contenders.
We are looking into one of the matches with teams at the middle of the board, as they could win many positions with a single triumph. We will cover the clash between the Western Conference 6th and 10th-placed teams, where LAFC will be visiting Colorado Rapids, which is looking to fix its current momentum with a victory.
Both teams have had a decent start, but they must pick up the pace to reach the top.

Why Bet on Colorado Rapids?
The hosts here come from a loss against Houston and are eager to get back into the win column in this clash in front of their fans. However, they may not have it any easier than their previous match, as they face a more solid team on paper.
Colorado has been struggling with a one-win, two draws, and two losses record, which doesn’t look like the greatest start, but they have time to make up and fix their little issues.
The big issue we must look at here is their defense, as they have scored five goals but taken eight in the process, which means that they will have to work a lot if they aim to be at the top.
Why Bet on LAFC?
Los Angeles is not in too much of a different spot than Colorado, but they have two wins and one draw, along with two losses. However, the team has been more effective, dealing seven goals and taking only six, as they continue to recover after a slow and disappointing start for the MLS.
They will be the visitors here, which should balance things out, as they seem to be the best team out of the two when we look at the numbers, results, and names.
However, LAFC is eager to make it to the top, so they are likely going to show their strength in this match.
Final Betting Analysis: Colorado Rapids vs. LAFC
Even though Colorado will be hosting the clash, and that may be the thing to even out the odds, it is their defense that worries us the most, as they have been taking more goals than what seems “healthy” for a successful run, and LAFC comes from fixing their goal differential by destroying Nashville with a 5-0 score.
It is simply LAFC’s momentum right now, and the aggressive offense they just showed that makes us back the visitors in this clash, as we expect them to get another 3 points once the sun settles. We’ll go for a 1-3.
Go for a victory for the visitors at 2.29. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $129 for a total payout of $229.
