Minnesota United vs Colorado Rapids 14 May 2026 Prediction

Minnesota, which has been more reliable on the road this season, hosts a struggling Colorado Rapids side in the next MLS round. Bookmakers expect the home team to win, even though Minnesota failed to beat this opponent at all last year. Will the market be right this time?

Minnesota

The hosts are currently fifth in the Western Conference standings. Minnesota has looked solid overall, losing only three times through 12 league matches. Still, the team has managed just one win across its last four matches in all competitions. More than half of its points, 13 of 21, have come away from home, a road total bettered only by San Jose.

Colorado Rapids

The visitors are in poor form. Colorado Rapids have lost three straight MLS matches by a combined score of 1:5, while their overall winless streak in the league has reached five games. Over that stretch, they have collected just one point. The Rapids play a very open attacking style: through 12 rounds, they have scored 22 goals and conceded 20.

Minnesota United vs Colorado Rapids Prediction: Minnesota to Win at 1.82

• Main Pick: Minnesota looks more stable and complete at this stage of the season than a Colorado Rapids side that keeps dropping points. Colorado has lost five of its seven away matches in MLS. Minnesota has also won four of the last five home head-to-head meetings between these teams. With that in mind, the pick is Minnesota to win at 1.82.
• Total Pick: Recent head-to-head meetings between these teams have regularly produced goals. In nine of the last 10 matchups, they combined for at least three goals. This MLS season, seven of 12 matches involving each side have gone over the total, with average combined totals of 2.8 and 3.5 goals. The pick is over 2.5 goals at 1.68.
