This is a 10* on COLORADO

These sides played to a 1-1 draw the last time they met. But Colorado has to be “licking its chops” heading into this rematch. That’s because San Jose finds itself in a terrible way, winless in eight straight matches, and they just took a 6-1 thrashing at the hands of the Portland Timbers. Colorado should look at tonight’s game as a must-win. The Rapids are 6th in the Western Conference table and coming off a clean sheet victory over the LA Galaxy, 2-0. While San Jose has a decent showing in the MLS is Back Tournament, they’ve been putrid since the regular season returned. The Earthquakes have conceded 23 goals while scoring only seven of their own. They haven’t won any regular season game and recently have taken three terrible losses where they were outscored 18-3 by LAFC, Seattle & Portland. Coach Matias Almeyda admitted there is a huge gap between the Quakes and the top teams in this league. After going on the road for three straight games, Colorado will be glad to be back home and should win convincingly tonight. Play on COLORADO
