Notes
- Saturday's matchup will be midfielder Ralph Priso's first appearance and first start in Burgundy. The 19-year-old appeared on the Colorado bench for the midweek Orlando game on Wednesday, but didn't make it to the pitch.
- With his goal in Colorado’s 1-1 draw with Orlando on Wednesday, Gyasi Zardes became the 13th player in MLS history to score 90 or more regular-season goals and the first MLS Homegrown Player to reach that mark.
- Colorado is unbeaten in seven straight MLS matches against the Galaxy (W5 D2), equaling the longest unbeaten run by either team in the history of the series.
- Rapids forward Diego Rubio leads the team with eight goals and has recorded a goal or an assist in his past three matches. Rubio has scored 27 career goals for the Rapids and is two goals away from tying Dominique Badji (29 goals) for sixth-most goals in club history.
- Robin Fraser began his MLS career with the LA Galaxy after being selected fourth overall by the club in the 1996 MLS Inaugural Player Draft. Fraser went on to make 151 appearances with LA across all competitions, winning the 1998 Supporters’ Shield.
- GK William Yarbrough is one shutout away from surpassing Tim Howard for fourth-most clean sheets in Rapids history. His six shutouts so far this season are T-2nd in MLS. The two-time Liga MX champion is also one win away from tying Howard and Joe Cannon for fourth-most wins in Rapids history (29).
