Top scorers

We said: Colorado Rapids 1-1 Real Salt Lake

Two of MLS's lowest scorers are unlikely to serve up a classic, and their lack of form means neither will be very confident of a win here. After two draws between the sides last season, a repeat looks like the most probable outcome in Colorado this weekend.
