Colorado Rapids vs. Charlotte preview

The Colorado Rapids host Charlotte FC this Saturday at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in what promises to be a compelling clash between two sides with contrasting recent fortunes.

Chris Armas's Rapids are looking to bounce back after a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Portland Timbers, where they managed 47% possession but struggled to convert their chances—a recurring theme as they've netted just six goals in their last six matches.

Charlotte, on the other hand, enters this fixture brimming with confidence following their emphatic 4-1 victory over San Jose Earthquakes, with Pep Biel, Ashley Westwood, Brandt Bronico, and Kerwin Vargas all finding the net.

Dean Smith's squad has been firing on all cylinders lately, scoring an impressive 11 goals in their last six games, but they'll need to overcome some key absences with Brandon Cambridge, Nimfasha Berchimas, and Jahlane Forbes all sidelined through injuries.

The Rapids aren't without their own injury concerns, as they'll be missing Sam Vines, Theodore Ku-DiPietro, and Jackson Travis—potentially weakening their defensive setup that's already showing vulnerabilities.

Fans might remember the teams' last encounter in April 2023, which ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw with Kerwin Vargas on the scoresheet for Charlotte and a dramatic 91st-minute equalizer from Michael Barrios salvaging a point for Colorado.

Despite Charlotte's recent goal-scoring prowess, home advantage could prove decisive for the Rapids, who'll be hungry to turn things around in front of their supporters.

Expect a tight, competitive affair with goals at both ends—this one could easily go either way, but don't be surprised if we see another score draw when the final whistle blows.
