Colorado Rapids are set to face a crucial test of their contender credentials when they host Inter Miami on Saturday. The team's first-year head coach, Matt Wells, believes that his side can win the MLS Cup after their impressive performance against Toronto FC on April 4. Despite finishing with only nine men on the pitch, the Rapids showed bravery and executed their high-energy game model with aplomb. Wells said that the way his team played with 10 men against 11 was a key factor in their performance. The Rapids have a massive stretch ahead of them, playing against some of the top teams in MLS, including Inter Miami, LAFC, and Vancouver. Wells is excited about the challenge, but his focus is on getting the three points against Inter Miami. The team will be playing at Empower Field at Mile High, their former home stadium, in front of a bumper crowd. The game is a special commemoration of the 30th anniversary of their inaugural home match. The Rapids have been building momentum, rebounding from the Toronto game with a 6-2 win over Houston Dynamo FC and a 1-0 midweek US Open Cup win over Union Omaha. Wells is looking forward to the game against Inter Miami, but he knows that it will be a tough challenge. The team will need to be at their best to take on the defending MLS Cup champions. With Lionel Messi leading the Inter Miami squad, the Rapids will need to be focused and determined to get the win. The game is set to be an exciting encounter, with the Rapids seeking to prove themselves as a top team in MLS.
