Colorado Rapids have the chance to move out of the foot of the table when they host Minnesota United in the Major League Soccer match at DSG Park.
Season so far:
- Colorado are propping up the table in the Western Conference, having won just three times in the regular season.
- But the momentum is certainly with the hosts, as those three wins came in the last four games. They are currently on a four-game unbeaten run (W-3, D-1).
