Colorado Rapids vs Nashville Prediction and Betting Tips | 2nd March 2024

Colorado Rapids host Nashville at the DSG Park on Saturday in the MLS, looking to recover from their opening day humiliation.

The Rapids were battered 4-1 by Portland Timbers last weekend. A goal from Eryk Williamson, a brace from Antony Santos and an own goal from Samuel Vines put the Timbers four goals to the good inside the opening half, before Calvin Harris pulled one back for the visitors.

With a goal difference of -3 on matchday one, Colorado are now at the bottom of the Western Conference standings. Nashville, though, endured a rather drab affair on the first day, drawing 0-0 with New York Red Bulls.

The Boys in Gold came into the fixture on the back of a 3-0 victory over Moca in their CONCACAF Champions Cup first round clash. They were supposedly headed for an easy win, but flattered to deceive. Just days later, the Tennessee outfit registered another 4-0 victory in the cup, and will be hoping to build on it this time around.
