Colorado Rapids host St. Louis at DSG Park in MLS action on Saturday, looking to pick up just their second win of the season.
It hasn't been a great run for the Denver outfit so far, who have picked up just seven points from eight games and languish in the eighth position in the Western Conference standings.
Their only victory of the 2023 campaign thus far came away to Sporting Kansas as Diego Rubio's 68th-minute strike earned them all three points on matchday seven.
In contrast, league debutants St. Louis are off to a flyer, winning six of their opening eight games and sitting at the top of the table in the Western Conference.
Trending
Their two losses so far have come in their last three games alone, as they were beaten consecutively by Minnesota and Seattle Sounders. But St. Louis recovered in their last outing to hammer Cincinnati 5-1 in a statement win.
