Columbus Crew have lost their last two; Colorado Rapids have won three straight. The visitors bring the sharper form into this MLS tie.
D. Rossi has been Columbus Crew's spearhead, with 6 goals and 1 assists in 15 appearances, averaging 0.80 shots on target per game. Rafael Navarro has been Colorado Rapids's main threat, with 10 goals and 3 assists in 20 appearances, averaging 1.55 shots on target per game.
Both sets of fans can dream here: this is two in-form sides on a collision course. Columbus Crew come in on a L-L-D-W-L run, Colorado Rapids have gone W-W-W-L-W, and neither will fear the other. When form meets form like this, something has to give, and whichever way it breaks, it should be a proper occasion. Columbus Crew's home form is particularly impressive right now. They're performing above their season average on their own turf. Columbus Crew have been even sharper lately. The chances they create are worth 2.0 a game over their last 5 compared to a season average of 1.5. They're creating more as the season goes on.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
Columbus Crew create chances worth 1.5 a game (and give up chances worth 1.3), leaving them +0.2 a game on the balance. Colorado Rapids create 1.6 (giving up 1.9) for a balance of -0.4. The underlying numbers clearly favour Columbus Crew. They're creating better chances AND giving up fewer good ones. Columbus Crew are trending upwards. Their chances are worth 2.0 a game over the last 5 vs 1.5 for the season. They're in a real attacking groove.
Columbus Crew average 1.6 goals per game and Colorado Rapids manage 1.3. Combined that's just 2.9. We make it only 1% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game. Interestingly, the chances suggest more goals than the headline number. Columbus Crew and Colorado Rapids together create chances worth 3.1 a game. The low figure might be underrating the attacking quality here.
In the last 10 meetings: Columbus Crew have won 4, Colorado Rapids 3, with 3 draws. These fixtures average 3.2 goals per game. 6 of the last 10 produced 3+ goals. Both teams have scored in most of their recent meetings, so there's a good chance both find the net again. Recent results: Colorado Rapids 1-4 Columbus Crew, Columbus Crew 3-2 Colorado Rapids, Colorado Rapids 1-1 Columbus Crew.
