The only two MLS teams named after water features (of course there are only 9, or 12 depending on how you count United, MLS teams with official nicknames in their name) are matching up tomorrow night in Commerce City with PM thunderstorms forecast. So it could be a damp night for those of you heading out to the game. When I renewed my tickets this year I decided I was no longer interested fighting traffic for weeknight games. Kickoff tomorrow for the middle game in this 3-game week is 7:30pm.
Player Availability:
OUT: M Kimani Stewart-Baynes (groin)
That's a nice injury report, not great that KSB is out of course but its good we're almost at full strength for this busy week. Its really hard to predict a lineup for this one but:
We really don't know what Armas' strategy is with this kind of condensed schedule, especially with the Rocky Mountain Cup on Saturday. I went with as much of a rotation as I could see happening, but Armas may just focus on the game in front of him and worry about Saturday after that.
Prediction: 1-1 draw, goal by Bassett. If you subtract the disastrous first half on Portland then Vancouver and Colorado are very similar. Just about an equal number of goals scored and allowed per game, though Vancouver has the same number of points as the Rapids with a game in hand. With the busy week I think a draw here is likely.
