Colorado Rapids

Colorado Rapids turned in a show of character and fighting spirits as they fought back from behind to secure a 2-1 home victory over Sporting Kansas City on Thursday night.

Following a relatively uneventful first half, the Rapids found themselves trailing to Johnny Russell's 48th-minute opener, but they dug deep and turned the game on its head courtesy of goals from Oliver Larraz and Dorde Mihailovic.

Prior to that, Colorado Rapids saw their run of three consecutive victories come to an end on June 30 as they fell to a humbling 3-0 loss against Los Angeles FC, with Mateusz Bogusz netting a hat-trick at the BMO Stadium.

With Friday's victory, Chris Armas's men have gone five consecutive home games without a defeat, claiming four wins and one draw while scoring 12 goals and keeping two clean sheets since a 3-2 loss to San Jose Earthquakes on May 12.

Colorado Rapids have picked up 10 wins and four draws in their 22 MLS matches so far to collect 34 points and sit fourth in the Western Conference standings, nine points adrift of first-placed Los Angeles FC.

St Louis City

St Louis City, on the other hand, returned to winning ways last time out as they held their own to see out a 2-0 victory over San Jose Earthquakes when the sides squared off at Citypark.

Eduard Lowen and Japanese midfielder Hosei Kijima scored first-half goals to put the hosts in front before holding firm to protect their two-goal lead in the second half.

This was a much-needed relief for St Louis City who had failed to taste victory in any of their previous nine matches, losing six and picking up just three draws since a 3-1 win over Chicago Fire on May 12.

John Hackworth's men have won four of their 21 league games so far while losing seven and claiming 10 draws to collect 22 points and sit 12th in the Western Conference table, only above Sporting Kansas City and San Jose Earthquakes.

While St Louis will be looking to secure back-to-back league wins for the first time since October, their form on the road offers little optimism as they have failed to win any of their 10 away matches this season, losing five and claiming five draws so far.

Prediction: Colorado Rapids 2-0 St Louis City
