It’s been an uplifting season for the Colorado Rapids in 2021, as the team coached by Robin Fraser sit second in the west with 41 points, just one point out of first place. On the other hand, the LA Galaxy, one of MLS flagship teams, has had an up and down season.
It won’t be an easy task for Greg Vanney’s men who have lost 4 straight against the Rapids and since 2018 are unbeaten in six matches against the 5-time MLS Cup champions. The Rapids have only lost 4 times this season while the Galaxy have lost double that number.
The Galaxy will welcome back Chicharito Hernández, who started 2021 on a high note, scoring goals at will but injuries have derailed what many considered an MVP season. For the Galaxy this match is a way to prove that they are more than a one trick pony and need to be taken seriously this season.

Colorado Rapids vs LA Galaxy: Storylines
In their last 27 games it’s split down the middle with the Colorado Rapids having won 11 and the Galaxy winning 11 as well. Both coaches were teammates back in the early days of MLS playing for the Los Angeles Galaxy, so they are very familiar with each other.
The Rapids enter the match unbeaten in seven straight matches, winners of 5, it is the longest run without a loss since 2019, an amazing job considering Robin Fraser has one of the tightest budgets in all of MLS, the Rapids have only 1 DP on their roster. It truly has been a workhorse team effort this season.
For the Galaxy, it’s all about the return of Chicharito, who started on fire in 2021 but now after a long period of injury will be tasked to ignite a rather bland Galaxy team without him.
