We said: Sporting Kansas City 1-0 Colorado Rapids

Sporting KC have struggled significantly at the start of this campaign but will view Saturday's meeting with the Western Conference's bottom side as a perfect opportunity to record their first maximum. Colorado have been poor so far this term and their alarming away record stretches back to the middle of last season - we cannot see the Rapids changing their fortunes in Kansas in this one.
