Latest football match prediction: Colorado vs Orlando City
Colorado Rapids went on a five-game winless streak from April 20th to May 15th, before securing two consecutive victories against Real Salt Lake and St. Louis City – signs that seemed to indicate an improvement in form, but which quickly vanished.
Chris Armas's team lost 1-2 to Portland Timbers in their final match of May, then went on to lose 0-2 to Austin FC – a game in which they conceded a goal from Mikkel Desler and an own goal from Rafael Navarro.
Despite controlling possession for most of the game, Colorado continued to show ineffectiveness in front of goal and suffered their third defeat in the last six rounds. They have missed exactly two-thirds of their clear-cut chances (30/45) since the start of the season.
This contributed to a decline in the team's goal-scoring performance, with only 18 goals in 17 games – a record only surpassed by 6 other teams in MLS.
Nevertheless, the Denver team is still ranked 9th in the Western Conference with 22 points – just one point behind the playoff spots, and with one game in hand due to their matchup against LAFC (Club World Cup participants) being postponed two weeks ago.
Colorado has only won 1 of their last 11 encounters with their upcoming opponent – a terrible record, but their home form against Orlando is quite good: 1 win, 2 draws, and 1 loss in their last 4 matches.
After a 12-match unbeaten run across all competitions, a 2-3 defeat to Nashville SC in the US Open Cup last May marked the beginning of Orlando City's slump – with three losses in their last four matches.
In their most recent match, they had a disastrous start, conceding three goals in the first 32 minutes and being defeated 3-1 by Chicago Fire – their first home loss in MLS since the opening round of the season.
Having climbed to third place after a 1-0 victory over Portland less than three weeks ago, "The Lions" have now dropped to seventh place in the Eastern Conference, but are still only three points behind second-placed Cincinnati.
Matches involving Orlando are often dramatic, with 53 goals scored in 17 games this season (31 scored, 22 conceded) – ranking fourth in the league for total goals scored in matches.
Having not lost three consecutive games since March 2024, the Florida team will be hoping for a positive result when playing away – a venue where they were unbeaten in seven consecutive games before recently losing 2-3 to Atlanta United.
