After delivering four winners from his last five featured columns, SlipsTips returns to share a selection from MLS on Saturday night.
Colorado Rapids vs Los Angeles FC (Saturday, 20:30)
Los Angeles will be looking to return to winning ways in MLS when they make the trip to Colorado Rapids on Saturday night.
Steve Cherundolo’s side are setting the early pace in the Western Conference, winning seven, drawing two and losing one of their opening 10 fixtures of the season.
One of those aforementioned stalemates came at home to Philadelphia last weekend so the Black and Gold will look to get back in the groove when they head to the Rocky Mountains this weekend.
After finishing last season with a club record of 61 points, the Rapids are currently in ninth place after a shaky start to the 2022/23 league campaign, with Robin Fraser’s men posting just one win across their last seven league matches.
Los Angeles backers will be offered widely available odds-against quotes about the league leaders securing an eighth win of the season but we can get some 27/20 (UniBet) on the visitors scoring two or more goals and that looks like a value alternative.
As already alluded, table topping LAFC have made a flying start to the season, not to mention they are currently the top scorers in the division, averaging 2.3 goals per-game.
What’s more, Steve Cherundolo’s charges have scored a minimum of two goals in each of their last six matches across all competitions.
That doesn’t bode well for a Colorado Rapids rearguard that is not exactly renowned for being reliable, with the hosts failing to keep their sheets clean in five of their last seven outings.
It’s also worth pointing out that Colorado have conceded two or more goals in three of their last six games, each of which were against sides currently housed in the top-seven.
With all that in mind, coupled with the fact that in-form Los Angeles have scored two or more goals in a lofty eight of their 10 league games this season so far, supporting the same wager on Saturday stands out at 27/20 (UniBet).
