Colorado Rapids

USA: MLS

Colorado Rapids operate as a side caught between attacking ambition and defensive fragility. Their xG profile reveals modest offensive creation at 1.57 per match paired with a leaky backline conceding 1.27, a combination that has yielded just two wins across their last six settled matches. Recent form has deteriorated markedly—four losses in the last five fixtures signal a side struggling for consistency. Bawler's model has found profitable angles on Rapids matches, hitting 67% on banker selections across the sample, a mark worth monitoring as their fixture schedule resumes.

◇ = USA: MLS average. Lower xG conceded is better.

How to read this: the green bar shows the average goals Colorado Rapids were expected to score per match (their xG output). The red bar shows what opponents are expected to score against them. The diamond on each bar marks the USA: MLS average — if the bar extends past the diamond, Colorado Rapids are above average there.

How to read this: the solid line is the goals Colorado Rapids actually scored each match. The dashed line is the goals the model expected them to score (xG). When the solid line is above the dashed, they overperformed — they finished better than the chances they created suggested. When it's below, they underperformed. Persistent underperformance often regresses; a one-off gap usually doesn't.
