After a shaky start to the season, Galaxy are still bottom of the Western Conference on the MLS table, six points away from the final playoff spot.
Colorado Rapids fought hard to earn a point against the Vancouver Whitecaps in a goalless draw at BC Place last Sunday.
Robin Fraser's side was under pressure for long stretches of the game, but they came close to stealing all three points late in the game, only for Diego Rubio to fluff his lines from 12 yards.
The Pids are 12th in the Western Conference with nine points in their first ten games, but things are looking up after a tough start to the season.
