New York City FC vs Colorado Rapids Prediction 19 June 2022

In another round of the MLS, the reigning US champions, New York City FC, will take on a strong middle-tier side Colorado.

Four consecutive victories over Columbus (2:0), DC United (2:0), Chicago Fire (1:0) and Minnesota (1:0) helped New York City single-handedly lead the Eastern Conference standings. In total, the Cityzens earned 26 points with a goal difference of 25:10, which is one point more than the nearest competitors.

The Rapids are currently 10th in the West with 18 points and a 16:17 shooting record.

Right now, New York City are in great shape, while Colorado are way behind in class. We predict a quiet victory for the hosts.
