In the MLS regular season, Colorado Rapids and Sporting Kansas City will face off on July 5, 2025. To boost their chances of making the playoffs, the home side must defeat an opponent having a noticeably worse campaign.
Our Prediction for Colorado Rapids vs Sporting Kansas City
The Denver club earned exactly 50 points last season, finishing seventh in the West. However, their playoff journey ended with a pair of defeats against Galaxy, conceding nine goals in two matches. Their opponent from Missouri managed only 31 points—only San Jose had a worse record in the conference that year.
Now, the former underdog has improved, but not dramatically. The season started with a string of losses, including in the CONCACAF Champions Cup. However, since April they began winning, gradually climbing up the table, though still suffering setbacks. Last round, they finished 1-1 with Real Salt Lake. The hosts also have as many losses as wins, especially recently, but overall their results are slightly better. They also split points with New England Revolution in an entertaining 3-3 draw.
Rafael Navarro and his teammates score an average of 1.15 goals per match, conceding 1.3 in return. The guests play more spectacular football, but the ratio is not better: 1.55 goals for, 1.85 against.
