The Colorado Rapids (water formation) head north to restart the season against the Vancouver Whitecaps (water formation) in what would be a wet game if it were here in Colorado but will be dry under the dome in British Columbia. This is the second matchup between the teams here after the 'Caps came to Commerce City and turned Casey's first game in charge into a loss. They've been hot since then, but the Rapids have been hotter. How much will the break have cooled off either team? Kickoff tomorrow is at 8m and the game is on Altitude.
Injury Report:
OUT: D Kortne Ford (season-ending injury); D Deklan Wynne
QUESTIONABLE: M Sam Nicholson
Unavailable:
M Nana Boateng - Family issues
F Jonathan Lewis - U.S. National Team
Losing Kort for the season hurts, but we've been playing without him all year so on a game to game basis we've already dealt with his absence. Lewis being gone and Nicholson being unlikely to play is a bit of a problem though.
None of the eleven starters I'm confident about, but Bassett or Rubio could be replaced by Mezquida and which one of the three starts behind Kamara versus on the right is up in the air. Otherwise why mess with what's been working for us?
Prediction: 1-1 draw, goal by Kamara. Vancouver's offense is horrible, but our defense isn't great. Their defense and our offense are pretty middle of the road. This has a annoying draw written all over it, where both teams will come out of it thinking they left 2 points on the field.
