Galaxy and Rapids Line Up for Tight Contest

Los Angeles Galaxy sit 8th after 27 games while Colorado Rapids stand 7th after 26. Galaxy score 1.2 goals and concede 1.2 at home this season. Rapids manage just 0.8 goals scored and give up 1.8 away from home. R. Puig and J. Paintsil miss out for the hosts while M. Diop and Z. Steffen are absent for the visitors. These injuries leave both attacks short of options in wide areas and up front. Head to head games between the sides have finished with three goals or fewer in five of the last nine meetings. Expect both teams to stay compact and limit space in a match where clear chances could stay scarce.
