Colorado Rapids - Chicago Fire FC

Colorado Rapids arrive at this matchday 33 encounter at Dick's Sporting Goods Park on 1 November 2026 hoping to build on a resilient run of form. Having recently navigated a challenging two-legged tie against San Jose Earthquakes, the hosts have demonstrated a stubborn refusal to be beaten, including a narrow 1-0 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps. The expected XI for the Rapids will be forced to adapt, however, as Reggie Cannon remains sidelined through injury and Kosi Thompson is unavailable due to suspension.

Chicago Fire FC travel to the venue following a high-scoring 2-2 draw against Orlando City, a result that highlights their recent inconsistency. While they managed an impressive 3-2 win over Atlanta United in late October, they have struggled for defensive stability throughout the month. With Robert Lewandowski expected to lead the line, the visitors will look to exploit any gaps left by the reshuffled Colorado defense.
