Minnesota United host Colorado Rapids at the Allianz Field Stadium on Wednesday in the MLS, looking to recover from their latest setback.

The Loons were held to a 1-1 draw by Seattle Sounders on Sunday, with Yeimar Gomez Andrade's 56th-minute own goal canceling out his own first-half effort for the visitors.

With eight wins, eight draws and eight defeats from 24 league games thus far, earning the team 32 points, Minnesota United are down in 10th position in the Western Conference standings.

Things have been much worse for Colorado Rapids this season, however, as the side sit rock bottom in the same table at 14th.

With only three wins and 11 defeats in 24 games, Robin Fraser's side have accrued only 19 points so far.

Their third and most recent league win came against FC Dallas in July this year, beating them 2-1 at home. Since then, the Rapids have drawn twice and lost once.

In the 2023 Leagues Cup, Colorado failed to shine, losing both their games in the group stages to bow out in the first round of the competition.

Minnesota United vs Colorado Rapids Prediction
