Key LA Galaxy vs Colorado Rapids Picks & Betting Lines

LA Galaxy/LA Galaxy
Our primary LA Galaxy vs Colorado Rapids prediction says it all, doesn’t it? We believe the clash at Dignity Health Sports Park will be a game to forget for the visitors. Their attacking tally is already unimpressive enough, and now, coach Robin Fraser’s boys will have to swallow another big pill with LA Galaxy going out for three points or nothing on Sunday.
Our tip isn’t backed up by the LA Galaxy vs Colorado Rapids head-to-head statistics as the last 10 games ended with Colorado Rapids being the dominant force on multiple occasions. However, we believe LA Galaxy’s victory over Colorado Rapids is a sure thing considering the last game between these two which ended with a brutal 4-1 win for coach Greg Vanney’s boys.
Under 0.5 Colorado Rapids Goals
The last time Colorado Rapids couldn’t bag a goal at Dignity Health Sports Park was on the 3rd of September, 2017. LA Galaxy were close to securing a clean sheet over old rival Rapids in the last head-to-head, however, a late 91st-minute left-footed goal by Nicholson ruined Jonathan Bond’s otherwise great game.
Seeing as the visitors’ attacking tally is the 2nd-worst in the Western Conference with barely six goals scored in 10 games, we feel quite comfortable with this LA Galaxy vs Colorado Rapids prediction.

LA Galaxy odds: -107 – 51.5%
Draw odds: +270 – 24.5%
Colorado Rapids odds: +280 – 24.0%
It’s understandable why at -107, LA Galaxy are the bookies’ expected winners with a massive 51.5% win probability. After all, the visitors have barely scored six goals. That’s why they are underdogs at +280 (24.0%).
LA Galaxy vs Colorado Rapids Lineups & Team News
LA Galaxy
Sunday’s clash versus Colorado Rapids is an outstanding opportunity for coach Greg Vanney’s boys to pick themselves up from the dirt and catch up to Robin Fraser’s side. With five losses, three draws, and barely one win in the 2023 MLS race, LA Galaxy’s players are starting to get on the fans’ nerves. The former will have to produce top-notch stuff against Colorado Rapids or else they’ll face the fans’ wrath.
Predicted lineup – Klinsmann (GK), Aude, Caceres, Neal, Calegari, Puig, Delgado, Brugman, Costa, Chicharito & Joveljic
Colorado Rapids
The only team with a goal tally poorer than Colorado Rapids’ in the Western Conference this season is poor Sporting Kansas City. The latter have bagged only three goals in 10 official MLS games but Colorado Rapids’ display isn’t a whole lot sturdier as coach Robin Fraser’s boys scored only six this season.
Predicted lineup – Yarbrough (GK), Abubakar, Wilson, Maxso, Beitashour, Max, Ronan, Rosenberry, Rubio, Nicholson & Barrios
Starting Lineups

Player to Watch: Chicharito
Who else did you expect to see here? Former Manchester United superstar Javier Hernandez Balcazar was a force to be reckoned with back in his glory days in the English Premier League but ever since he joined LA Galaxy a couple of seasons ago, he’s proving that age is just a number.
He was among the top finishers last season as well. Chicharito averaged 0.53 goals per game to go out and bag 18 goals in 34 games for Los Angeles Galaxy. Sure, with a goal and an assist in the 2023 MLS Campaign, Chicharito has a rather slow start but we have to cut him some slack as he was injured for the better part of the season.
