Rapids Go For Hat-Trick Of Wins


Tomorrow night Colorado tries to go for a third win in a row, and balance out their scales against Texas teams so far this season, as Houston comes to town.  The Dynamo are off to a pretty good start this season with 8 points in 5 games and they're coming off a win over SKC on Wednesday night.  The flip side of that is that they're on their second game in 72 hours.  Advantage, Colorado.  Kickoff tomorrow is back to our normal 7pm and TV is still on our normal not available to most.

Injury Report:

OUT: D Steven Beitashour; M Braian Galvan

QUESTIONABLE: M Younes Namli

Looks like that hit Namli took last week might be a bit worse than first suggested.  It seems like everyone else expected to be available is though.


I think, given his knock and how well Bassett played last week, Fraser will give Namli the night off.  I can see Abubakar getting his first start but I don't think Fraser will make that change yet.  Otherwise we're not going to change what's working.

Prediction: 2-1 win, goals by Rubio and Barrios.  Houston's had a slightly worse offense and a slightly better defense than we've had so far, but playing their second game this week and playing at altitude will give the Rapids the advantage.    Barrios is finally going to put one in the net and Rubio is going to get his second game-winner.
