Los Angeles vs Colorado Rapids prediction: Hard-earned LAFC win ahead
Key Stats
- The Rapids couldn’t score a single goal in the last five matches at BMO Stadium.
- Coach Steven Cherundolo has a successful 5-1-3 record against this opponent.
- The last 10 games between the two clubs resulted in five LAFC wins, four victories for the Rapids, and one draw.
Correct score prediction: Los Angeles 1-0 Colorado Rapids
We believe coach Chris Armas’ boys will try to exploit their rivals’ vulnerability right now. LAFC did not do well in the Club World Cup, and it goes without saying that they will find it difficult to get the three points on 10 July. Difficult, but definitely not impossible, as LAFC did win all of their last five home games against this rival.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Bookies trust Cherundolo
- HOME: 19/50 (1.38) – 72.5%
- DRAW: 17/4 (5.25) – 19.0%
- AWAY: 27/4 (7.75) – 12.9%

Los Angeles team news and form: LAFC need a win
Shortly after returning to MLS after the tiresome Club World Cup, coach Cherundolo’s players lost to Vancouver Whitecaps. Olivier Giroud is no longer part of the team, as he agreed to a mutual contract termination, so it will be interesting to see how the team will react against the Rapids.
Predicted lineup: Lloris (GK), Palencia, Long, Segura, Smoliakov, Amaya, Jesus, Tillman, Dilrosun, Ebobisse & Bouanga

Colorado Rapids team news and form: Rapids disappoint
Colorado Rapids even managed to lose to lacklustre San Jose Earthquakes on 5 July. Perhaps that was due to the injuries of Zack Steffen and Ali Fadal. Let’s see which players coach Armas will rely on to make a difference at BMO Stadium.
Predicted lineup: Hansen (GK), Rosenberry, Maxso, Awaziem, Travis, Ronan, Atencio, Harris, Mihailovic, Ku-DiPietro & Navarro

Player to watch: Denis Bouanga
So far, the winger has scored eight goals in 16 domestic league matches. Moreover, he also added four assists to his name, so we should see him among LAFC’s starters this week.
Can Bouanga fill the Giroud-shaped hole?
We should mention the fact that the Gabonese winger scored a total of 21 goals in 36 Major League Soccer games. It’s fair to say that he can do just fine in LAFC’s attack without World Cup champion Giroud, which is a big plus in favour of our professional Los Angeles vs Colorado Rapids prediction.
