Prediction published on 10/17/24, 8:37 AM  by Edgar Jibran | Modified on 10/17/24 at 4:39 PM in Major League Soccer Picks

The MLS Western Conference will face its last round of the regular season next Saturday, October 19th starting at 07:00 pm Central Time, and even when there are some low profile matches like the clash between Austin FC and Colorado Rapids, the main expectation is having a very dynamic closure of the regular season. In this regard, it’s relevant to note that Colorado Rapids is already qualified for the playoffs, scenario that doesn’t happen very often.

On Austin FC case, this team is already eliminated from the competition, so they should start thinking about the transfer market to get a more effective attacker, as none of their current players was able to reach the 10 goals line this season. Additionally, it can be said that Sebastian Driussi’s hiring was a big disappointment, as he has only scored 6 goals throughout the season.

Going back to Colorado Rapids’ performance, this team has shown a great offensive consistency during the regular season, having Rafael Navarro and Djordje Mihailovic as the two key offensive players, who were able to score 14 and 11 goals, respectively. In addition, Mihailovic was also the top assister of this team with 13, being relevant to highlight that he has already signed a 4-year contract with the Rapids.
