Here's everything you need to know heading into the game!

How the Colorado Rapids enter this match

It's a huge final few games for Colorado, as they battle for the final playoff spots.

However, they aren't in good form, with their winless run now at six games after a 0-0 draw against the Portland Timbers away from home.

Currently sitting in ninth place, the Rapids should head into this game with confidence due to the home advantage they hold from the altitude.

How the Vancouver Whitecaps enter this match

Vancouver are back to winning ways at the perfect time, as they search for a first-ever top seed finish in the Western Conference standings.

A winless run of four was just recently snapped after the Whitecaps recorded a 2-1 comeback away win against Austin FC, which also means Vancouver haven't lost in three straight games.

Sitting top, the Whitecaps hold a four-point lead, but it will be tough to maintain it given the history between the two sides heading into tomorrow.

Colorado leads the series with a 14-8-13 record, but ten of those wins have come at home, while Vancouver has won only four times in Commerce City because of the altitude.

While Vancouver handled the altitude well against Real Salt Lake last month, it's gonna be harder in Colorado, as the Rapids hold a 9-3-3 record at home this season, which ranks third in the Western Conference.

However, Vancouver are the West's best team on the road, with a 7-5-3 record, making tomorrow's matchup even more intriguing for the neutral.
