Mihailovic Calls for Colorado Rapids to be Recognized as Top Contender in the Western Conference Clash with Houston Dynamo

Djordje Mihailovic believes the Colorado Rapids should be ranked with the best teams in the West as they gear up for a face-off against the Houston Dynamo.

Recently, the Rapids have struggled with just one win in their last four games. Despite this, a draw against Minnesota United has helped them maintain their sixth position in the standings.

Now, the Colorado team is striving to reclaim their winning streak, with Mihailovic optimistic about their capabilities against the top six competitors, including Houston.

Reflecting on the past, Mihailovic acknowledges the club’s history but remains confident in the squad’s potential. Despite others underestimating them, he believes the team has what it takes.

Houston is currently trailing Colorado by four points in eighth place, with other teams nipping at their heels. The head coach, Ben Osborn, attributes their recent struggles to a lack of finishing and game management.

Looking ahead, the focus is on key players like Latif Blessing of the Dynamo and Rafael Navarro of the Rapids. Both have shown promising performances, with Navarro holding a unique goalscoring streak in MLS history.

In terms of predictions, the odds favor Houston to come out on top against Colorado, with recent victories in their match history. However, both teams have faced challenges in their recent outings, making the outcome unpredictable.

According to Opta statistics, Houston has a 55.2% chance of winning, with a draw at 24.3% and Colorado at 20.4%.
