Philadelphia Union vs Colorado Rapids Preview and Team News

Philadelphia Union Team News

Bradley Carnell will be hopeful that his side can continue their ascendancy into a playoff spot this weekend. Philadelphia have picked up two victories in their ongoing three-match unbeaten run. 

However, the Union were left frustrated in their previous outing after struggling to break down a resolute Houston Dynamo defense. Despite playing their usual free-flowing 4-4-2 system, Philadelphia couldn’t get their two strikers involved and managed just two shots on target. 

Carnell will be without the suspended Francis Westfield this weekend, but otherwise, he has a fully fit squad to choose from. 

Philadelphia Union predicted lineup vs Colorado Rapids (4-4-2): Rick; Mbaizo, Glesnes, Harriel, LeFlore; Rafanello, Bueno, Lukic, Bedoya; Uhre, Damiani. 

Colorado Rapids Team News

Chris Armas still has high hopes of leading the Colorado Rapids into the playoffs this season. They’ve won eight of their 24 matches in 2025, but their inconsistency has been costly, with ten defeats already on the board. 

That said, they showed their character in their latest outing, battling to a 3-3 draw against the in-form Seattle Sounders

The Rapids employed a competitive 4-2-3-1 system, which enabled them to attack on the wings while also ensuring defensive solidity when out of possession, with Ku-DiPietro and Harris dropping into deeper roles. 

However, the draw was further evidence that they’ve struggled defensively on the road this season, especially when the ball transitions high up the field. This weekend, Armas will only have one injury concern, as Ali Fadal will miss out due to a knee issue. 

Colorado Rapids predicted lineup vs Philadelphia Union (4-2-3-1): Steffen; Cannon, Maxsø, Awaziem, Vines; Bassett, Ronan; Harris, Mihailovic, Ku-DiPietro; Navarro.

Philadelphia Union vs Colorado Rapids Prediction 

  • Pick: Philadelphia Union to win
  • Odds: -174 (20Bet)
  • Correct score prediction: Philadelphia Union 3-1 Colorado Rapids

The open nature of Colorado’s system is a major concern heading into this clash against one of the standout teams in the Eastern Conference.

Even more worrying for the visitors is Philadelphia’s dominant home form in 2025 – they’re averaging 2.17 goals per game. Their ability to build up from the wide areas, coupled with the two pacey strikers up front, means that the Rapids will struggle when they lose possession. 

Philadelphia Union vs Colorado Rapids Prediction, Betting Tip

  • Pick: Over 2.5 Goals
  • Odds: -217 (20Bet)

The tactical balance of this clash ensures that there will be goals. Despite being open defensively on their travels and conceding 1.82 goals per 90 minutes, the Rapids have still found a way to click in the final third, scoring 1.18 goals. 

The Philadelphia Union often give their opponents chances when out of possession, which has led to them allowing 1.08 goals per MLS fixture. Both teams have also averaged more than 2.5 goals per game in the competition this season.
