Tonight is an important game for both the Colorado Rapids (11-3-8) and LA Galaxy (9-3-10). Both teams are fighting for the top of the standings, with the Rapids in second place behind Dallas FC, and LA tied with Real Salt Lake for third. The Rapids are coming off a great win at home vs. Vancouver last weekend, while LA tied the New York Red Bulls last weekend. LA Galaxy also lost to Dallas FC in the Open Cup on Wednesday, but only played a couple of their starters, so we can expect a fully rested LA side tonight.
Looks like Pablo Mastroeni is going with the same starting lineup as last week, with Shkëlzen Gashi at the 10 spot again and Dillon Powers at the pivot with Sam Cronin.
