The Rapids are facing NYCFC, aka the Pigeons, this week. Before their recent two game losing streak they were the hottest team in the league, going 12 games undefeated. Due to games in hand they only sit 7th in the East but on a pts/game basis they have the second best number in the other conference. They have the second best defense in the league (buoyed a bit by that lack of games) and a middle of the road offense. Kickoff tomorrow is at 7pm with the tailgate starting at 4.
Injury Report:
OUT: D Kortne Ford; D Deklan Wynne
QUESTIONABLE: M Jack Price
Disciplinary Report:
SUSPENDED: M Kellyn Acosta; F Diego Rubio
Well, that's not fun. I expect we'll see much like what we saw in Portland.
I do think Price might start. He's started before when he was Questionable and my guess is the turf in Portland is why he didn't start last week. If he can't go I expect to see Bassett.
Prediction: 1-1 draw, goal by Lewis. This feels optimistic, I can see NY getting more than one goal but I don't know that we have more than one in us. Lewis will get a bit of revenge on his old team and hopefully a point for his new one.
