Los Angeles Galaxy vs Colorado Rapids Prediction & Picks - Major League Soccer

 by Carlos Zabala in Major League Soccer Picks

LA Galaxy, who have not won the MLS since 2014, face Colorado Rapids at Dignity Health Stadium with odds as favorable as -200 on betting sites. LA Galaxy was beaten by the Houston Dynamo on the last day of the season, which cost them first place in the Western Conference. In turn, Colorado Rapids avoided playing the Play-in when they beat Austin FC 3-2 and got into the round of 16.

Qualifying for the playoffs on the last day of the regular season was a great achievement and improvement for Chris Armas' Colorado Rapids, who reached 23 points more than in the 2023 MLS. It is not an easy elimination for LA Galaxy considering that Colorado Rapids showed in the Leagues Cup what they are capable of doing when they advanced to the semifinals in the direct elimination matches, beating Liga MX champion América.

However, the Colorado Rapids have not been a good visitor this season, while the LA Galaxy have been one of the best home teams, winning their last 7 home games. The Colorado Rapids have lost their last three away games allowing 3 or more goals in each game.

Our Los Angeles Galaxy vs Colorado Rapids Prediction

This tie is about a best-of-three game to advance to the quarterfinals. It would be a mistake for the LA Galaxy to be too cautious in the first game, and they should stick to the attacking football of the regular season. The last time they reached the round of 16 in the 2022 season, they beat Nashville 1-0 in the round of 16. This time around, the MLS Playoffs have a greater margin for error, and a game similar to the 3-1 game on October 2 is likely. Our prediction for Colorado Rapids vs LA Galaxy is: Over 3.5 goals, -109 at DraftKings.
