The Colorado Rapids are about to play one of the most important fixtures of the season if they want to stay near the summit of the Western Conference and look to host a home playoff game. The Supporters' Shield trophy might be out of reach for the Rocky Mountain side, but the Rapids need a victory to get back on track and bounce back from a two-game losing streak.
Colorado (11-5-10, 43 points) have fallen to 4th place in the Western Conference after being on the wrong end of a 1-0 defeat in Foxborough, Massachusetts against New England Revolution.
