* The Colorado Rapids are playing at home against Sporting Kansas City. The Rapids won their last game against Sporting KC, and they are hoping to win again to help them get closer to making it into the playoffs.
* Sporting Kansas City has not been winning many games lately and is at the bottom of their league. They are not sure how they will play away from home, especially at a high altitude, and will focus on playing defense.
* The Rapids have some fast players who might be able to score goals by kicking the ball far. They also have a player suspended, so their midfield might look different, which could surprise Sporting KC.
