Rapids Hitch Up Their Wagons For Portland This Weekend

 


Colorado goes west tomorrow night to face the Timbers in Portland.  The Rapids are still looking for their first road win of the season, and the Timbers haven't been a good home side this year.  Kickoff tomorrow is late, 8:30pm, so plenty of time to enjoy the weekend before settling in.  19 games left in the TV blackout.

Injury Report: 
OUT: M Ollie Larraz
QUESTIONABLE: M Jack Price

Disciplinary Report:
SUSPENDED: D Lalas Abubakar, M Brian Acosta (Yellow Card accumulation) 
SUSPENDED AFTER NEXT YELLOW: D Auston Trusty

Based on reports from training it sounds like Price is doubtful to start and questionable to be in the 18.


With both Price and Acosta out of midfield its a little hard to predict which way Fraser will go.  You could see somebody like Warner starting and Kaye more out wide, but I think Robin will want to put offense out there to start.  In the back I think Rosenberry pinches in for the missing Abubakar.

Prediction: 2-1 win, goals by Zardes and Kaye.  Portland is not a good team right now and I think we can take advantage even with our depleted roster.  It will be tight but I think we squeak out the 3 points and Zardes gets his first goal as a Rapid from the run of play.
