The Rapids take on Sporting for the third time this season when the club travels to Kansas City on Saturday. The previous two matches resulted in a contentious 3-2 loss and a 1-1 tie at DICK'S Sporting Goods Park in September. Colorado will look to get a victory over their neighbors to the East, who currently hold the third spot in the Western Conference.
The past couple years for Sporting Kansas City have seen them lead the Western Conference in points in 2018 and finish second to last in 2019. The roster from those two campaigns features a lot of familiar faces: Matt Besler, Graham Zusi, Roger Espinoza and Johnny Russell.
