Colorado is coming into this match playing in much better form in their recent matches. They have won 3 of their last 4 as well as 4 of their last 6 matches. Their attack has been much better in those matches as they have scored at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 6 matches, averaging over 2 goals scored per match in that span, and their defense has also been better as they have kept 2 clean sheets in their last 4 matches. When playing at home, they have won their last 2 straight matches there and they have scored 5 goals in those 2 matches. They are going up against a San Jose side that has not been in good form in their recent matches. They have lost 4 of their last 6 league matches with only 1 win in that span and that win also came at home. They have actually won their last 2 straight matches, but both wins came at home and 1 of those was also against a much weaker Oakland Roots side in the US Open Cup. When playing away from home, they have been much worse as they have lost 5 of their 6 matches this season. Their defense has been awful in those matches as well as they have allowed 9 goals in their last 3 away matches alone. San Jose has not had a lot of success in Colorado either as they have lost 6 of the last 8 meetings there with no wins in that span. Colorado has been in much better form in their recent matches as they have improved a lot from last season while San Jose is still one of the worst teams in the league and they are going to struggle in this away match with altitude coming into play as well. Colorado will win this match at home and collect all 3 points here.
