Columbus Crew vs Colorado Rapids Predictions 5/31/2023

The Colorado Rapids and their traveling supporters will be hoping for a better outcome in this one after losing their most recent MLS contest against FC Cincinnati.

The Colorado Rapids had 50% of the possession in that game, and three of their 12 shots on goal were successful. On the other hand, FC Cincinnati made 16 attempts at goal, scoring on six of them.

FC Cincinnati’s Dominique Badji scored in the 33rd minute. The Colorado Rapids have allowed 13 goals in their last six games, according to the statistics, which don’t lie.

The Colorado Rapids could use some serious improvement in their defense. However, it’s not certain that pattern will continue into this game.

Similar to how the Colorado Rapids lost 1-0 to FC Cincinnati in their previous match, they could not turn things around.

The team of Robin Fraser has now dropped their previous four contests, including a 1-0 defeat to Real Salt Lake in their US Open Cup round of 16 matchups on May 25.

Colorado Rapids are 13th in the Western Conference standings with 12 points from 15 matches, three points above last-place LA Galaxy.

Currently, Colorado Rapids manager Robin Fraser must deal with fewer team alternatives. Jack Price (ruptured Achilles tendon) and Aboubacar Keita (ruptured cruciate ligament) won’t participate.

The Colorado Rapids are 1-4 in their last five matches against the spread.
The Colorado Rapids are 5-3 in their road matches against the spread.

Columbus Crew vs. Colorado Rapids The MLS pick for this game is the Columbus Crew.

When comparing their previous head-to-head matches, which date back to 09/08/2015, both clubs shared the victories, with Columbus Crew winning two and Colorado Rapids drawing two in regular time.

They scored 18 goals in these games, nine from the Crew and nine from the Rapids. That equals three goals per game on average.

The two teams’ most recent league meeting was on MLS Match Day 35 on August 14, 2022, with the final score being Colorado Rapids 1, Columbus Crew.

The Colorado Rapids had 42% of the possession at the time, and three of their 12 shots on goal were successful. Diego Rubio (41′) was their lone scorer.

The Columbus Crew made 14 tries at goal against them, scoring five of them. Cucho Hernández scored after 5′. Jon Freemon acted as the official.

In our opinion, the Columbus Crew will probably take advantage of several scoring opportunities.

However, Colorado Rapids might find it difficult to find shooting opportunities, even if we believe it’s likely that they’ll occasionally pose a threat.

The Colorado Rapids and Columbus Crew are seeking a win that will raise their spirits after experiencing a slump in performance.

Despite their recent struggles, the Crew was strong at home this year, and we anticipate them winning on Wednesday. By the time the referee blew the final whistle, Columbus Crew had earned a fairly easy 3-1 victory.
