Rapids Poised to Breach Minnesota Defense

Colorado Rapids score 1.9 goals a game at home this season. Minnesota United concede 2.4 goals a game on the road. Minnesota arrive after four defeats in five matches and have kept only five clean sheets all year. Their absences include Pereyra, Smir and Stroud, all of whom have featured regularly in midfield and defense. Head-to-head meetings have produced over 2.5 goals in eight of the last ten encounters. Colorado Rapids have managed 1.4 goals a game overall but improve sharply in front of their own fans. The game may hinge on whether Minnesota can contain the Rapids attacks in wide areas.
