For the first time in a while, outside of the season opener, I'm excited and intrigued about a home match. Tomorrow night the Conor Casey coaching era begins as the Rapids host Vancouver. There will be lots of interested eyes watching how the team will react to the leadership change. I expect the tailgate will have a more festive air than its had for a while when it starts at 4pm before the 7pm kickoff. If you can't make it the dynamic duo of Fleming and Balboa will have the call on Altitude.
Injury Report:
OUT: D Kortne Ford
That's as good as the availability reports have looked all season. Hopefully after his recent knee surgery Ford is on his way to a full recovery finally.
This is half educated guess and half "this is what I think he should do". With his first game in charge its hare to know what Conor it thinking but I'm betting a pretty basic formation that gets as many people into their preferred positions to maximize the chances of success.
Prediction: 2-1 win, goals by Kamara and Rubio. Vancouver has the worst offense in the league, we have the worst defense. So I think they'll get one, but only one. Meanwhile I think Casey's attack-minded focus gives us enough to get two and our first win of the season.
