Five Things is a weekly series on SportingKC.com that highlights the top storylines, players to watch and matchday programming ahead of each game throughout the season.
Winners of two straight games, Sporting Kansas City travels west this weekend for a matchup with the Colorado Rapids at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Kickoff is slated for Saturday at 8 p.m. CT, airing live on FOX Sports Kansas City, FOX Sports Midwest Plus, ESPN 94.5 FM and ESPN Deportes KC 1480 AM.
Goals have been flying freely for Manager Peter Vermes’ men during their current uptick, but the Rapids have been a tough puzzle to solve for Sporting KC in recent head-to-head meetings.
