This is our 7th game this season and our 4th against a team from Texas. I can't wait until 2022 and the league gets back to playing a more varied schedule. I doubt the days of us seeing most Eastern Conference teams will ever return but at least we'll get a better mix of Western Conference teams. Kickoff tomorrow for the last limited capacity game at the Dick is the traditional 7pm. Yesterday the Rapids announced they'll go back to full capacity for our next home game, which isn't until the 4th of July! They also said masks are now recommended (starting with tomorrow's game) not required.
Injury Report:
OUT: D Steven Beitashour
QUESTIONABLE: M Brian Galvan, M Jonathan Lewis, M Younes Namli
International Callups:
M Kellyn Acosta - U.S.
Alongside the semi-official injury report above, reports from training today were that there was no sign of Abubakar after leaving the game due to injury last week. For a while now it seems that player's appearance on the injury report has been a week delayed. Namli was also reportedly not present in training. I think its safe to say the only one of the players named we might see is Lewis, and then only coming off the bench.
Yes, we're wearing blue tomorrow as part of MLS's environmental week with jerseys made from recycled plastic. They just hope you ignore that they started promoting their own NFT's this week, which are horrible for the environment. I wouldn't be shocked to see Bassett pushed back to Warner's position and Mezquida at the #10 but I'm guessing Fraser will want to keep Bassett up front more.
Prediction: 2-1 win, goals by Rubio and Bassett. This game will be tougher than it should be with Acosta's and Namli's absence but we're a better team than Dallas and we're at home. We'll get the 3 points but we won't feel comfortable about it until the final whistle.
