Club America vs Colorado Rapids prediction: The Eagles will soar at Dignity Health Sports Park

Key Stats

  • We saw four goals by the Eagles in their last official Leagues Cup match.
  • Brian Dominguez now has four goals since the start of the season in all competitions.
  • Henry Martin – Club America’s captain and top goalscorer, will play in the 18th of August, which is bad news for coach Chris Armas.

Correct score prediction: Club America 4-2 Colorado Rapids

The Eagles’ previous Leagues Cup match ended 4-2 in their favor. What you might be interested in knowing is that coach Andre Jardine’s boys managed to beat another MLS side previously – St. Louis City. Surely, that’s another huge plus in favor of our Club America vs Colorado Rapids predictions.

Player to watch: Henry Martin

Winning the Player of the Season Award in Liga MX is an extremely difficult thing to do. However, Martin was crowned the Best in Mexico during the 2022/23 season. He could’ve received the honor in the previous campaign as well but was unlucky to get injured so often. However, with five goals since the start of the season, his presence on the pitch on the 18th of August is a huge boost to our top Club America vs Colorado Rapids predictions.

Since the MLS campaign began, Harris has managed to acquire eight goal returns. He scored on three occasions and added five assists to his impressive tally.
