Can We Do 2013 Again?

In October of 2013 I flipped the coin before the Rapids home match against Seattle.  The Sounders won the toss, the only thing they won that night.  Deshorn Brown would score 13 seconds after kickoff on the way to a 5-1 win.  We need something like that tonight.  The Rapids have a slight chance to clinch a playoff spot tonight with a win and Portland getting at least a point, and LA and FSL drawing.  Even a point tonight would be huge for Colorado's playoff chances.  A loss and we have to be very concerned that we could miss out.  Kickoff tonight is at 7pm and its our last home game of the year.

Again, between COIVD, the lack of an injury report, and out packed schedule I'm not going to make a lineup prediction, though I expect Fraser to stick close to what was working in Minnesota on Wednesday.  A concerning note, Minnesota's game today was cancelled due to COVID positives in their team, which apparently includes a player that played against the Rapids on Wednesday.  So, not good.

Prediction: 2-1 loss, goal by Bassett.  I really wanted to predict a draw but Seattle's defense is really good and ours is not.  I don't think they'll shut us out but I can't see us hanging with them, unfortunately.
