The Match

Preview

Sports Mole previews Saturday's Major League Soccer clash between Los Angeles FC and Colorado Rapids, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

We said: Los Angeles FC 1-0 Colorado Rapids

LA made some savvy moves during the offseason, and they should be a side to be aware of in attack, while they now have a goalkeeper who might make their defence look better than they actually are. The Rapids failed to address their goalscoring issues after their elimination from the postseason, and beating a keeper with the calibre of Crepeau will be quite the challenge. Read more.
