After having played 18 MLS matches, Colorado Rapids have positioned themselves at the 10th spot of the Western Conference and taking into consideration that there are only 11 teams competing, it´s not the best position to be located in.


Colorado Rapids is a team that during the 2016 season, they managed to secure the 2nd spot and seeing them dropping into the lower section of the MLS standings is a fairly surprising thing to see.

Something that has recently affected the team of Pablo Maestroni is the large amount of games that they have had to play during the month of June.

Staring from June 3 until June 27, Colorado Rapids had to compete in 6 matches. During that time-lapse of 24 days, the squad of Pablo Maestroni played 6 high-level games which is 1 match every 4 days.

Fredy Montero is looking forward to facing Seattle once again.


The Vancouver Whitecaps forward will have fond memories of his time at Seattle Sounders. He spent four seasons at the club and became the all-time top scorer in the MLS before leaving the club in 2012. After having spent a lot of time at clubs in China, Portugal, and Colombia, he is once again back in the MLS this season. The forward scored his first goal of the season in the win over LA Galaxy a few weeks ago. However, he has witnessed Vancouver Whitecaps going through a terrible run of form with four defeats in the last five matches across all competitions.

Hence, confidence is not high among the Vancouver Whitecaps ranks. Even then a game against his former club will be a special occasion.
