Sporting Kansas City is winless in its last eight visits to Colorado (D4 L4), though the last four meetings at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park have all ended in draws. Kansas City has just five regulation wins in 39 all-time MLS visits to Colorado (1 breakaway shootout win in 1997).
The Rapids are unbeaten in 17 straight regular season home matches (W10 D7), though they lost to Portland at home in last season’s playoffs. The 17-match run is tied for the longest active regular season home unbeaten run in MLS (Nashville) and is the second longest in club history (19 straight in 2016-17).
Sporting Kansas City’s victory over Houston on Saturday was the club’s first 1-0 win since October 2020 against FC Cincinnati. Kansas City was one of three teams (Dallas, Toronto) that did not record a 1-0 win during the 2021 campaign.
Diego Rubio recorded both a goal and an assist in Colorado’s win over Atlanta on Saturday. Rubio has been involved in five goals (2 goals, 3 assists) in his last six regular season appearances dating back to late October of last season.
Andreu Fontàs completed 109 of his 118 pass attempts in Sporting Kansas City’s win over Houston on Saturday. The 109 completed passes are the most by any player in an MLS match this season and equaled a career best for Fontàs, who also completed 109 passes against Houston in May 2021.
