Notes

  • Sporting KC hasn't found a victory in DICK'S Sporting Goods Park since March 29, 2014 when Peter Vermes' side took the 3-2 result in Colorado
  • The Rapids are searching for their 17th consecutive unbeaten home result in the MLS regular season - they currently sit two home wins or ties away from breaking the 19-match record previously set from March 2016 to March 2017
  • Saturday's match marks Auston Trusty's 100th MLS regular season appearance
  • Michael Barrios is one goal away from reaching 40 goals, he would enter the '40-40 club' at that point with his 52 career assists
  • Both sides earned a top three spot on the Western Conference standings at the end of the 2021 campaign, the Rapids finishing at the top and Sporting taking third
  • Rapids' Homegrown defender Kortne Ford will make his first return to Colorado and DICK'S Sporting Goods Park on Saturday since signing with SKC in January 2022
  • The teams battled to a 0-0 result in the 2022 preseason Desert Showcase in Tucson Arizona
