Leon vs Colorado Rapids Match Analysis & Prediction
06/08/2024 4:00 am
With both sides staring elimination in the face, Club Leon and the Colorado Rapids meet in their final Leagues Cup group-stage match at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on Tuesday.
Club Leon were guilty of throwing away an advantage once again in their 2-1 defeat to the Portland Timbers at Providence Park on Monday.
A bright start from Jorge Bava’s side was rewarded with Alan Medina’s opener, after which Zac McGraw scored in both halved to turn the game around.
Los Panzas Verdes are now without a victory in five straight matches across all competitions dating back to a 3-0 friendly win over Irapuato on June 26.
Club Leon’s poor run of results has left them 14th in the Liga MX standings and currently on the verge of an early exit from the Leagues Cup, three years on since they went all the way.
The 2021 champions must emerge victorious on Tuesday to make it through to the knockout stages of this year’s edition, but their away form of late has been far from convincing, with no wins in the last four.
Meanwhile, the Colorado Rapids suffered their heaviest defeat of the season so far on Friday following a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of the Portland Timbers.
Since kicking off July with successive victories against Sporting Kansas City and St Louis City, Chris Armas’ side have managed just one win from the subsequent four matches.
Their four-goal thrashing last time out means they have now let in nine goals across their last three matches, and thet level of defensive porosity must be addressed ahead of Tuesday’s must-win contest.
However, a run of five wins from six home matches surely makes for good reading for the hosts, who will now set out to get the job done in front of their fans.
