Colorado Rapids return to action in MLS when they play host to FC Dallas on Saturday. Eric Quill’s men have lost each of their last seven visits to Dick's Sporting Goods Park since October 2018 and will head into the weekend looking to end this dire run.
Colorado Rapids were dumped out of the CONCACAF Champions Cup on away goals as they lost 1-0 against Los Angeles FC at the BMO Stadium on Wednesday, having secured a 2-1 victory at home in the reverse leg one week earlier.
Before that, Chris Armas’ side were denied a dream start to the 2025 MLS campaign as they played out a goalless draw with St. Louis City at the CityPark Stadium on February 23.
Colorado now return to the league, where they have failed to win their last seven matches, a run which saw them crash out of the playoffs in the first round last season courtesy of a 9-1 aggregate loss against LA Galaxy.
Meanwhile, Petar Musa and Anderson Julio found the back of the net for Dallas last Sunday to hand them a 2-1 comeback victory over Houston Dynamo in their season curtain-raiser.
This followed a decent run of results in pre-season, where Quill’s men picked up two wins and one draw from their five warm-up matches. While Dallas will look to make it two wins from two this weekend, they have lost their last seven visits to Dick's Sporting Goods Park and are without a win in their last 11, losing seven and claiming four draws since a 1-0 victory in October 2014.
