Colorado Rapids host Seattle Sounders at the DSG Park on Wednesday (September 20) in the MLS, looking to build on their last win.
After five winless games, losing their last three, Colorado returned to winning ways with a 2-1 defeat of New England Revolution. Cole Bassett and Calvin Harris scored inside 17 minutes in the second half before Omar Gonzalez pulled one back for the Revs in stoppage time.
However, with 22 points from 27 games, Chris Little's side are rock-bottom in the Western Conference, while Seattle are up in third, having accrued 20 points more.
However, their recent form hasn't been great, as the Rave Greens have won just one of their last seven top-flight games. That was a 2-1 win at Austin on August 30, ending a four-game winless run, but they have drawn twice more since then.
Against Portland Timbers, Brian Schmetzer's side blew away a two-goal lead by conceding twice after the break to draw 2-2. In their next outing, Seattle held FC Dallas to a 1-1 draw. Alexander Roldan's 57th-minute goal cancelled out Jader Obrian's first-half opener for the Texas outfit.
