4th Of July Appetizer Against The Revs

 

Minute Man National Historic Park

Colorado makes their longest trip of the season to face the Revolution in Foxborough tomorrow night.  New England is coming off a 3-2 home loss to Nashville while the the Rapids are hoping to repeat their success from the Galaxy game.  The Revs are in the same position in the East as the Pids are in the West, right between 1.3-1.4 PPG, but NE is much more streaky.  They've had streaks of 4 wins, 3 losses, and 4 draws this season and they're currently on a 2 game losing streak.  The visitors try to make that 3 starting at 5:30pm MT.

Availability Report:

OUT: GK Zack Steffen (knee), M Ali Fadal (knee), M Wayne Frederick (hip), M Alex Harris (ankle), M Djordje Mihailovic (ankle)

QUESTIONABLE: M Cole Bassett (ankle)

Yeah, Djordje picked up an ankle knock sometime sin the last 48 hours.  Not great.  Based on what happened against Orlando I wouldn't risk Bassett coming back too soon, especially on the turf.  We'll have to do it without either of them.

I think we see largely the same lineup from Wednesday except we'll move to the 4-2-2-2 with Mihailovic out.  Yapi goes back on top and the rest fit in the same place.

Prediction: 0-0 draw.  Two teams that struggle with offense on short rest playing on turf.  This won't be pretty but Colorado will get the minimum point they need.
