Colorado Rapids<\/a> host LAFC<\/a> at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on Wednesday, August 19 (9:30 PM ET \/ 8:30 PM CT \/ 6:30 PM PT).<\/p>\n

Colorado Rapids and LAFC both arrive with clean team sheets \u2014 no fresh absences reported for either side ahead of this one. Rafael Navarro leads the Rapids’ attack with 9 goals from 53 shots this season, with Paxten Aaronson supplying the ammunition via 29 chances created in 1,439 minutes. LAFC counter with Denis Bouanga<\/a>, who has scored 10 goals from 53 shots of his own, backed by Son Heung-Min’s 33 chances created and David Mart\u00ednez’s 6 goals.<\/p>\n

Colorado have won their most recent home matches shown here, 1-0 over Austin FC and 1-0 over San Diego FC, sandwiched around a narrow loss at St. Louis City SC \u2014 the kind of tight, low-scoring pattern that suggests another close one. LAFC arrive unbeaten in their last five outings shown here, and with Bouanga and Son Heung-Min both generating heavy shot volumes, Colorado’s task is to make this a battle rather than an exhibition of quality.<\/p>\n
