San Jose hasn’t won any of its last 10 visits to Colorado (D5 L5) dating back to 2014. The Rapids have only one longer home unbeaten streak against a single foe in MLS (including playoffs), going 11 in a row without losing to New England at home from 2003 to 2013.
Colorado extended its home unbeaten run to six games (W3 D3) with a 3-1 win over the Whitecaps on Saturday. The Rapids have lost only two of their last 31 regular season home matches (W17 D12) dating back to May 2021.
San Jose’s 6-0 defeat to Cincinnati on Saturday equaled the largest defeat in club history, a 7-1 loss at Seattle on September 10, 2020, exactly two years to the day before the defeat at Cincinnati.
Gyasi Zardes scored his 10th goal of the season in Colorado’s win over Vancouver on Saturday, his firth season with double-digit goals (2014, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021). Zardes is the 14th player in MLS history to score at least 10 times in five different seasons.
The Earthquakes’ 6-0 loss to Cincinnati means this is the sixth straight season that San Jose allowed five or more goals in a match at least once, including playoffs. San Jose has conceded five or more goals 11 times since the start of the 2017 season, more than any other team in MLS in that time.
