Head-to-head statistics Colorado - Earthquakes
Colorado Rapids: Dangerously Close to Dropping Out of the Playoff Zone
In their previous MLS away match, Colorado Rapids led LA Galaxy 2-0 at half-time but went on to lose 3-2 - 27 September 2026. Despite having 60% possession, Colorado had fewer shots than their opponents: 9 to 15.
Colorado Rapids have been inconsistent over their recent run - just one win alongside two defeats and two draws in their last five matches. Over their last ten games, they have won four, lost four and drawn two. On average, Colorado Rapids score 1.41 goals per game and concede at the same rate, which points to a balanced side without a clear lean towards attack or defence. At home they have traditionally been stronger: the trend shows they won six of their last seven home league matches, and that factor is central to assessing the hosts' chances of taking three points here.
Match Results: Colorado Rapids
San Jose Earthquakes are battling for top spot in the Western Conference
San Jose Earthquakes beat Portland Timbers 3-1 at home in their last MLS match 27 September 2026. All three of the hosts' goals came before half-time, despite them being outshot 13-18 and losing the dangerous attacks count 25-71.
San Jose Earthquakes sit fourth, maintaining their gap over the teams immediately below them while closing in on the top of the table. Their last five matches have brought three wins, one draw and one defeat - a decent run, though the broader picture over ten games is less impressive: just three wins alongside four defeats and three draws. San Jose average 1.81 goals per match going forward, but their defensive record of 1.44 conceded per game remains a notable risk factor even against mid-table opposition.
Match Results: San-Jose Earthquakes
Corners Prediction
In six consecutive home matches, Colorado Rapids have seen the total corners come in under 10.5. Given both teams' average corner numbers and no opposing trends in that area, there are grounds to expect a low corner count in this match as well. We're backing Total Corners - Under 10.5 at 1.83*.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the most likely outcomes are: 1-1 (10.59%), 2-1 (9.52%) and 1-0 (8.59%). A 1-1 draw is the single most probable result, though a one-goal Colorado Rapids win is also considered a frequent scenario. The three probabilities are close to one another, reflecting an even contest with low scoring expected.
*Odds are indicative and may vary across different bookmakers.*
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Both teams are motivated to win, so the contest should go right to the final whistle. The visitors have almost secured their play-off place, but they trail the Western Conference leaders by just five points, which adds extra motivation at this stage of the season. The hosts are only four points clear of tenth place, and any dropped points could prove fatal. Given the high scoring in recent rounds and the poor defensive displays from both sides, our pick for this match is Total Goals - Over 2.5.
