Colorado is coming into this match with no recent trend to the under in their matches. They are coming off of a 3-2 win against Dallas in their 1st match back from the Leagues Cup and now they are playing their 1st home match since the tournament ended. They have not been trending to the under in recent home matches, but their defense has been much better at home all season. They are going up against a Portland side that has not been trending to the under in their recent matches, but they are coming off of a 1-0 win against Seattle in their last match and this is going to be a similar kind of match against another team they are fighting with for positioning in the Western table. Their defense was much better in their last match and they are going to travel with that good defense as Colorado is not a place they have had a lot of success recently. Portland just beat Colorado at home 4-0 in the Leagues Cup weeks ago so they know how to defend against this Rapids team and keep them out. They have struggled to score in Colorado though. Portland has only scored 1 goal in their last 4 trips to Colorado, but Colorado has only scored 4 goals in those 4 matches as well. They have gone under 2.5 goals in their last 4 straight meetings in Colorado, and this is going to be another close match with playoff implications. This is going to be a low scoring and defensive match that stays under 3.5 goals.
