Colorado Rapids Vs Los Angeles Galaxy Mls

Commerce City, Colorado — The Colorado Rapids will host the Los Angeles Galaxy on Wednesday, June 26, at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. This clash marks the return to Major League Soccer for both teams after an 11-day hiatus.

Heading into the match, the Rapids sit ninth in the Western Conference following a 1-0 defeat against Orlando City, while Los Angeles remains at the bottom of the table despite a recent 3-3 draw with St. Louis City.

The Rapids, known as the Burgundy Boys, will look to break a three-match losing streak in league play. They are currently just one point above the Western Conference playoff line and have struggled to score, netting a goal or fewer in their last nine matches.

Colorado has not registered a point against any California-based team since their victory against the San Jose Earthquakes in April of last year. The team must turn around its luck, especially since they have not won a home game since early this season.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy have not won a road match in MLS this year and have conceded the highest number of goals in the league at 39 this season. Despite earlier successes against the Rapids, including a 4-1 victory during the 2024 playoffs, LA faces a crucial need for points to improve their standing in the league.

Colorado could be missing key players due to injuries, with concerns surrounding a few players who sat out their last fixture. The Galaxy also have injury issues, with a player questionable for this matchup.

As Colorado aims to capitalize on their home advantage, Los Angeles hopes to regain their confidence in front of goal. This matchup is critical for both teams as they strive to position themselves for a potential playoff berth this season.
