Colorado Rapids vs Austin FC Prediction and Betting Tips | September 30, 2023

Austin FC will look to end their nine-game winless run when they visit Dick’s Sporting Goods Park to face Colorado Rapids in the MLS on Saturday (September 30).

The hosts failed to find their feet, as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Vancouver Whitecaps on Wednesday. Chris Little’s men are winless in three games, losing twice, since a 2-1 win over New England Revolution on September 17.

Colorado are rooted to the bottom of the Western Conference, having picked up 23 points from 30 games.

Meanwhile, Austin's hopes of securing a place in the playoffs suffered a fresh blow following a 3-3 draw to LA Galaxy last Monday. Josh Wolff’s side have gone nine games without a win across competitions, losing six, since a 2-1 win over Sporting Kansas City in July.

With five games left in the regular season, Austin are 12th in the Western Conference, five points adrift of the playoff qualification places.
