Charlotte FC vs Colorado Rapids Prediction and Betting Tips

Charlotte hosts the Colorado Rapids at Bank of America Stadium in MLS on Saturday, looking to earn just its second win of the 2023 season.

The Crown’s only win so far in seven games came against Orlando City, beating Florida 2-1 on the road in Game 4.

Before that, Christian Lattanzio’s team had lost their first three games. However, since that win, things have gone downhill for them once again.

A pair of draws against the New York Red Bulls and Toronto was followed by a 3-1 loss at the hands of Real Salt Lake last Sunday as the hosts fought back from a second-half deficit.

With just five points in the bag right now, Charlotte is second from bottom in the Western Conference standings, but luckily for them, their upcoming opponents haven’t knocked down trees so far either.

Having accumulated just one more point, Colorado sits in 11th place, winning just once so far. That win, however, came in their last game when Diego Rubio’s 68th-minute goal gave the Rapids all three points in Kansas.
