This will be the first MLS meeting between Colorado and Nashville.
The Rapids’ 1-0 win over Seattle on Sunday extended the club’s home unbeaten run to 23 regular season games (W14 D9), tied for the fourth longest streak in MLS history. Colorado can tie the third longest streak in league history (24 games – Sporting KC in 2016-17) if it avoids defeat against Nashville.
After consecutive losses in mid-March, Nashville has lost only two of its last nine MLS matches (W4 D3). Nashville has scored twice in each of its last two matches (W1 D1), something they’ve never done in three straight MLS matches (incl. playoffs).
Rapids games have started slowly this season, with Colorado the only team in MLS that has not scored or conceded a goal in the opening 15 minutes of a match in 2022. The Rapids make up for that in the next quarter-hour, scoring an MLS high six goals between the 16th and 30th minutes.
Hany Mukhtar and C.J. Sapong each scored and assisted on each other’s goals in Nashville’s 2-2 draw with Atlanta on Saturday. The pair has combined for 16 goal contributions this season (Mukhtar 9, Sapong 7) as at least one of the two has been involved in 11 of Nashville’s 15 MLS goals this season.
