Colorado Rapids vs Philadelphia Union: How to Watch, Live Stream, TV Information and More

The Colorado Rapids and Philadelphia Union play for the only time in the regular season tonight at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in a match-up that, in March, looked really bad.

But now, it is a battle of the two first place teams in Major League Soccer.

Yep, the Rapids and Union both lead their respective conferences.  That still sounds crazy.

So...the goal for the Rapids:  win again at home

What to Watch For

1) The Streak, Part One: Quick!  When was the last time the Rapids lost?  Well, it's been eight games unbeaten for the Burgundy Boys since they last dropped a game.  We remember the April 9th match in Utah, but since then the Rapids are 6-0-2 (20 points, 2.5 PPG).

2) The Streak, Part Two: The second, and probably more important streak is that the Rapids have not lost at home.  And for a team that was simply dreadful at Estadio Richards last season (only five wins) this incredible start has been a blessing.  Playoff teams win at home.  End.  Of.  Story.

3) The Pending Break: After this matchup the Rapids have three full weeks off before returning to MLS play in mid June.  They will have a US Open Cup match at home on the 14th or 15th, but this should be a time to get everyone healthy for the fixture rich summer months.
