Doin' A Little East Coast Swing

Colorado heads East for a 3 game week, presumably staying out there all week (I really hope they're not flying back and forth after each game).  First stop, Philly and the Eastern Conference leading Union.  Philadelphia is coming off their third (3rd!) 6+ goal win of the season and their second over DC United alone.  They're also completely healthy and have no players missing, so the Rapids have a mountain to climb to get points tomorrow.  Kickoff is at 5:30pm, and there are 7 games left in the Altitude blackout.

Injury Report: 

OUT: D Seb Anderson, M Ollie Larraz, M Jack Price, F Yaya Toure

QUESTIONABLE: D Keegan Rosenberry

Disciplinary Report:

SUSPENDED; M Bryan Acosta

ONE CAUTION FROM SUSPENSION: D Lalas Abubakar

Toure's injury was confirmed as a season=ending ACL tear this week, so I'll be leaving him off the report for the rest of the season alongside Keita and Galvan.  Keegan and Seb are new additions to the injury report, both with right leg injuries.  Needless to say, this is not good.

This is the lineup I'd expect Fraser to play if he's trying to win this game and not worrying about our trip to Nashville on Wednesday and DC next weekend.  We may see some players rotated out, especially since this seems to be the toughest of those 3 games.  Priso and Barrios would be the most likely to rotate in.

Prediction: 3-1 loss, goal by Rubio.  A full-strength Union squad, at home, trying to stay on top of the East against a weakened Rapids squad on the road with a questionable playoff chance?  Yeah, we're not getting anything out of this one.  As they say, No Price, No Points.
