How and where to watch

Match context

The Houston Dynamo and Colorado Rapids are in an extremely tight Western Conference playoff race. Houston is just underneath the playoff line by a small margin, and Colorado is just ahead. So this is a big match for both of them in terms of postseason implications.

Earlier this season the two teams met in Houston (at Shell Energy Stadium), in a match that ended 2–2, and Houston’s Amine Bassi scored first followed by a stoppage-time equalizer by Ondřej Lingr.

For Houston, forward Ezequiel Ponce is one of their greatest scoring threats, as is midfielder Jack McGlynn’s influence through scoring and assisting.

For Colorado, Rafael Navarro leads the attack and Djordje Mihailovic is instrumental in the midfield. Colorado’s most recent match was 4–2 loss to Sporting Kansas City on the road.

Head-to-head

In MLS history, the two teams have faced each other a total of 48 times, in which Houston have won 17 times, Colorado 16 and 15 ended in a draw.

But Houston have not lost to Colorado in their last seven matches against the Rapids, outscoring them 13–6 over that stretch.

With Colorado playing at home, although they have had a bit of a roller coaster year, and given Houston’s momentum with Ponce and McGlynn, and the several unavaible player this feels like a toss up game.

I would be leaning Houston Dynamo for a close win or maybe a draw if Colorado plays off sturdy defense.
