427 days. That's how long it will have been between going to the Dick for a game when I walk in tomorrow, but the streak will end tomorrow! I am finally going to a match again now that I'm at full vaccine efficacy. Tomorrow the Rapids host Minnesota, who's winless so far on the season. Game time is an odd 8pm kickoff for a home game, and you all know the TV situation.
Injury Report:
OUT: D Steven Beitashour; M Braian Galvan
He hasn't been listed but it appears Kortne Ford started the season on the Injured List, which means he won't be eligible to play until after the first 6 games. A much better injury report than we've seen so far. Earlier this week Fraser commented that he had no concerns about Abubakar or Price (who left last week's game with a knock) so he should have almost a full roster to pick from.
I think despite Abubakar being healthy Fraser will give him one more game to get his fitness up to 90 minute shape. Plus the current CB duo has gotten two shutouts in three games. Otherwise I would expect no changes from the team that won last week, unless there's something in Minnesota's game film that Fraser wants to take advantage of.
Prediction: 2-1 win, goals by Rubio and Namli. Minnesota has looked bad so far and while that can't last I think we can take advantage while they're down. They've only scored once this season but they have too much talent to not expect them to find a way to get a goal on the board. We're going to need to step up for our first multi-goal game of the season.
