Claim Welcome Bonus🏠 Colorado Rapids: form statistics
The Colorado Rapids are climbing the Western Conference ladder with consistent performances and defensive discipline. They currently figure 7th, having 5 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses, and the Rapids come off a crucial 1-0 victory against Real Salt Lake for the Rocky Mountain Cup. Djordje Mihailovic scored the only goal in the 70th minute and received his fifth MLS Team of the Matchday recognition of the season.
That win was more than just for local bragging rights—Colorado were reaffirmed as a force at home. The complete home record (WWDLW) has been decent, despite that the Rapids oftentimes tend to slow start—losing the first half in 5 of their last 6 games, after which they grow into games and go on to finish very well.
From a defensive standpoint, they are very organized and have allowed under 2.5 goals in 4 of their past 5 contests. Set-pieces, on the other hand, have been minimal, with under 10.5 corners given up in 6 of the last 7. The only major absenteealt has been goalkeeper Zack Steffen, called away for international duty; however, Detreitas-Hansen, stepping up to fill in, has performed well.
Armas is keen to bank on the form and midfield control of Mihailovic to extend their hold over ailing St. Louis.
📝 Colorado Rapids Lineup
🔖 Expected Lineup: Defreitas-Hansen, Maxsø, Travis, Cannon, Awaziem, Mihailovic, Bassett, Atencio, Larraz, Yapi, Cabral
⛔️ Out: Zack Steffen, Rafael Navarro, Ali Fadal
👤Head coach: Chris Armas

✈️ St. Louis City SC: form and statistics
A downward spiral has gripped St. Louis City SC. They're presently stuck in 14th place in the Western Conference, registering only two wins, five draws, and seven losses in total. Their form over the last five games stands at WLDLL and features one of their most harrowing moments-one-against Minnesota United in the U.S. Open Cup-where the team gave up a late golden opportunity and allowed goals in two crucial stages: late on the 88th minute and another in injury time.
The collapse was the surtax for their problems throughout 2025. Not winning for four games away is a deadlock for them as they keep getting lapses in defense. They keep fighting and always find a way to score in almost every other match but have nonetheless failed to keep a clean sheet in four games straight.
St. Louis always had such games that tend to be open and chaotic: over 2.5 goals in 6 of the last 7 matches and goals at both ends in 5 of the 7 matches. But similarly to Colorado, they don't favor many corners, with 5 of the last 7 games going under 10.5 corners, and their fixtures have also been pretty strictly disciplined, with 4 of the last 5 matches seeing less than 4.5 cards given out.
Head Coach Olof Mellberg is busy trying to find an equilibrium at the back while integrating the short-term loanee, Cam Cilley, to build up contractor depth. However, he heads into a brutal altitude test at Dick's Sporting Goods Park with those confidence levels rooted in the basement.
📝 St. Louis City SC Lineup
🔖 Expected Lineup: Bürki, Hiebert, Watts, Yaro, Baumgartl, Hartel, Ostrák, Wallem, Girdwood-Reich, Teuchert, Célio Pompeu
⛔️ Out: J. Nilsson, A. Morales, T. Totland
👤Head coach: Olof Mellberg
