Colorado Rapids vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction and Betting Tips | June 21st 2023

The MLS returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Colorado Rapids and Vancouver Whitecaps square off at DSG Park on Wednesday.

Robin Fraser’s men head into the midweek clash without a win in their last eight games across all competitions and will be looking to end this dry spell.

Colorado Rapids were sent crashing back down to earth a fortnight ago as they fell to a 2-0 loss against Orlando City at the Exploria Stadium.

This followed a goalless draw with San Jose Earthquakes on June 4 which saw their six-match losing streak come to an end.

Colorado Rapids remain rooted to the bottom of the Western Conference table, level on 13 points with 13th-placed LA Galaxy.

Elsewhere, Vancouver Whitecaps were held to a second successive share of the spoils in the league as they played out a 1-1 draw with Cincinnati last time out.

Sandwiched between the two draws, Vanni Sartini’s men picked up a 2-1 victory over CF Montreal on June 8 to clinch the 2023 Canadian Championship title.

The Whitecaps, who have now gone four straight games without defeat, are currently eighth in the Western Conference table, having picked up 22 points from 17 matches.
