Some Mickey Mouse Club In Town


Colorado is back at home facing a former coach for the second game in a row and a third time since Memorial Day.  This time its Oscar Pareja and Orlando City in town.  OCSC is coming off a late-night (due to lightning delay) win over Miami on Saturday, only their second win in their last 7 games.  As we know the Rapids are on a 5 game skid.  Kickoff tomorrow is at 7pm, and the TV blackout count is down to 15 more games (since the last game of the season is on Univision).

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

No changes from Saturday in the player availability report, but with 3 games this week I expect some rotation in the starting eleven.


Hard to tell exactly what kind of rotation we'll see.  I think we'll ride the back line as much as possible this week, and we don't have another striker to start up front.  So I think you'll see the most rotation in midfield and on the wings.

Prediction: 2-1 win, goals by Rubio and Lewis.  This looks like the most winnable game for a while and I think an extra-tired Orlando will give us that chance.  It will be tight and Lewis will get the winner off the bench.  We'll suffer for the effort in the heat on Saturday against the Galaxy, but right now we can only worry about the game in front of us.
