Latest Colorado vs Orlando City football review

The Colorado Rapids went on a five-game winless streak from April 20 to May 15, before winning back-to-back games against Real Salt Lake and St Louis City – signs that seemed to indicate improved form, but then quickly faded.

Chris Armas' side lost 2-1 to Portland Timbers in their final game of May, then fell 2-0 to Austin FC – a match in which they conceded a goal from Mikkel Desler and an own goal from Rafael Navarro.

Despite controlling the game for most of the time, Colorado continued to show ineffectiveness in front of goal and lost for the third time in the last 6 rounds. They missed exactly 2/3 of the clear chances (30/45) since the beginning of the season.

That contributed to the team's poor scoring performance, with just 18 goals in 17 games – a record that only ranked higher than six other teams in MLS.

Still, the Denver team is ninth in the Western Conference with 22 points – just one point behind the playoffs, and has a game in hand as their Club World Cup clash with LAFC was postponed two weeks ago.

Colorado has won just one of their last 11 meetings with their upcoming opponent – ​​a poor record, but their home form against Orlando is quite good: 1 win, 2 draws, 1 loss in their last 4 matches.

After a 12-match unbeaten run in all competitions, a 2-3 defeat to Nashville SC in the US Open Cup last May began a period of decline for Orlando City – with three defeats in their last four matches.

In their most recent match, they got off to a disastrous start, conceding three goals in the opening 32 minutes and falling to a 3-1 defeat by the Chicago Fire – their first home loss in MLS since the opening round of the season.

Having climbed to third place after a 1-0 win 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-place Cincinnati.

Orlando's games are often action-packed, with 53 goals scored in 17 games this season (31 for, 22 against) – fourth in the league for total goals scored in games.

Having not lost three consecutive games since March 2024, the Florida side will be hoping for a positive result away from home – where they were unbeaten in seven straight games before losing 2-3 to Atlanta United recently.
