Tomorrow night is the home finale of the regular season but barring a complete Couging in the last two games we should have a home match in the playoffs. We only need to draw one of the two games or have Portland not win both of their games to get a home game (and even if neither of those happen if Minnesota or Vancouver fail to win both of their games we'd still get a home game). We do need 3 points to avoid the play-in game though, which is a bit more precarious so it would be good to get that taken care fo tomorrow. Its going to be tough with a hot Seattle team and a still missing Cole Bassett though. Kickoff is at 7:30 tomorrow and beforehand C38 is hosting their first Tailgate Brewfest with 8 local breweries.
Player Availability:
OUT: M Cole Bassett (quad), M Kevin Cabral (elbow)
Whatever the "precaution" that they were supposedly holding Bassett out for sure looks more like a "he's hurt but we don't want to tell anyone" at this point.
This is the exact same prediction I made for Wednesday but I don't see how this is that different than what we'll see except maybe on the wings. We have to put our best players out there, regardless of miles on the legs, and try to get a result.
Prediction: 2-2, goals by Navarro and Mihailovic. This seems really optimistic at this point and the 2-2 score line is becoming my go to but I can't predict a win and I can't predict a good defensive performance the way this team is playing. I'm hopeful that the final home match and Seattle being a little tired from the 3rd game in a week will be enough to push us to at least a draw and clinching that playoff home match. I'd hate to go into Austin in two weeks needing a result to avoid 9th place.
