AMEDEUS' MLS WEST GAME OF THE MONTH!
(MLS) Minnesota United FC vs. Colorado Rapids,
Point Spread: 0.50 | -108.00 Minnesota United FC (Away)
Result: Win
Colorado is coming into this match not playing in great form in their recent matches. They have been very inconsistent recently as they have lost 2 of their last 3 as well as 3 of their last 5 matches. Their defense has been awful in these matches as well as they have allowed at least 2 goals in 2 of their last 3 as well as 3 of their last 5 matches, allowing 5 goals in their last match. When playing at home, they have been in better form as they have won 3 of their last 4 matches there, but all 3 of those wins were by just 1 goal and their defense was not good in those matches as they allowed 6 goals in those 4 matches. They are going up against a Minnesota side that has been in great form in their recent matches and all season as they are currently sitting in the top 4 of the whole MLS table, 2nd in the Western Conference behind Real Salt Lake. Their attack has been great in these matches as they have scored at least 2 goals in each of their last 5 matches. When playing away from home, they have won their last 2 straight as well as 4 of their 5 away matches this season and they have actually been better away from home than they have been at home. They have also outscored their opponents 5-1 in their last 2 away matches. Colorado has been much better this season as they were one of the worst in the MLS last year, but they are still a very inconsistent team with an awful defense that concedes a lot of goals. That is going to be a big issue against a potent attack like Minnesota that has been in great form recently, especially since Minnesota is rounding into one of the better teams in the MLS this season. Minnesota is going to win this match or at least draw, take Minnesota +0.5 here.
