This will be the first meeting between the Red Bulls and Rapids since August 2019 when Colorado won, 2-0, at Red Bull Arena. The 12 meetings between the sides since 2010 have seen each team win four times and draw four, though Colorado’s win at New York in 2019 is their only road victory in that span (D3 L3).
The Red Bulls saw their six-match home unbeaten run (W3 D3) end with a 1-0 defeat to New York City FC in their last home match on July 17. The Red Bulls haven’t dropped consecutive home matches since a three-match losing streak in September 2020.
Colorado is winless in its first 10 away matches this season (D3 L7), one of two teams without an away win in 2022 (Toronto). The Rapids have gone longer into a season without a road win only once, failing to win any of their first 13 away matches in 2017.
The four players to score for the Red Bulls in their 4-3 win over Austin FC on July 25 (Serge Ngoma, Dru Yearwood, Cameron Harper, Tom Barlow) had combined for 12 goals in 157 MLS appearances entering the match.
Jonathan Lewis scored Colorado’s lone goal against Seattle on July 23. Lewis has been involved in four of Colorado’s last seven MLS goals (2 goals, 2 assists), including the last three (1 goal, 2 assists).
