Colorado Rapids vs Minnesota United Prediction

Colorado Rapids lie at the bottom of Group C, having lost both their games post-restart. Forward Younes Namli, on loan from Krasnodar, has been in good form, and much will be expected from him. Striker Kei Kamara looks set to lead the line, and he has a good goalscoring record for the Rapids.

Minnesota United sit second in the table, behind Real Salt Lake on goal difference. Manager Adrian Heath will expect the form of midfielder Kevin Molino to continue.
