FC Dallas host Colorado Rapids at Toyota Stadium on Saturday, November 7 (7:00 PM ET / 6:00 PM CT / 4:00 PM PT).
No fresh fitness concerns have surfaced for either side heading into this one, so expect FC Dallas to lean on the pairing that has carried their attack all season: Petar Musa, who has scored 22 goals from 94 shots, and Logan Farrington, who has added 10 goals of his own. Kaick da Silva Ferreira, who has played 2,392 minutes in midfield, should again be the link between defence and attack. Colorado Rapids will again ask Paxten Aaronson to run the show, with the attacking midfielder’s 8 goals and 61 chances created making him the man Dallas’ defence will be most wary of, while Darren Yapi and Morgan Whittaker offer secondary scoring threats up top.

FC Dallas vs Colorado Rapids Prediction
FC Dallas have the better record, the better goal difference, and home advantage at Toyota Stadium, and we expect that to tell against a Colorado side that have been as generous at the back as they’ve been dangerous going forward. Musa gets on the scoresheet again, Colorado find a response through their own attacking numbers, but Dallas see it out 2-1 at Toyota Stadium. That result would keep Dallas second in the West, firmly in the playoff picture, with Colorado still working to climb clear of eighth.
