Inoculated City

Didn't we just see these guys?

Lets hope the city is inoculated, one disaster in the Earthquakes is enough.  Yep, San Jose again, just like two weeks ago when they ran all over us in a 3-1 win.  The difference this time is that we're at home, and Kamara isn't injured.  Is that enough to change the result?  It may be.  Kickoff tomorrow is at 7pm so the tailgate starts at 4.  After celebrating his birthday this week Marcelo will have the call alongside Fleming on Altitude for those who can't make it.

Injury Report:

OUT: D Kortne Ford; D Deklan Wynne

QUESTIONABLE: GK Tim Howard

Disciplinary Report:

SUSPENDED: D Seb Anderson

ONE YELLOW FROM SUSPENSION: M Jack Price

Yes, Seb is still suspended since he's been with the U-17s the last two Rapids games, so those don't count towards serving his suspension.  My bet is that Tim is only on the bench if he doesn't get the night off completely, no reason to push him at this point of the season.

This seems really easy to predict.  This is the first game of a three game week, so we might see some players rotated out for rest, but I bet we go all in on this one and worry about rest with the later games on the road.

Prediction: 2-2 draw, goals by Kamara and Lewis.  San Jose is still a good team and we're...not.  I think we can reverse some of the damage from the first game by just playing better and having Kamara up front but I don't think we're good enough to actually beat them.  An entertaining high-scoring game ends with a share of the points.
