ℹ️ Team News: San Jose Earthquakes
Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just one fitness concern for the San Jose Earthquakes gaffer Matías Almeyda to be concerned with due to a largely intact group of players. George Asomani (Hip Injury) is out of contention.
We are thinking that Quakes will probably go for a 4-5-1 system for the game, beginning the first half with JT Marcinkowski, Paul Marie, Tanner Beason, Francisco Calvo, Marcos López, Eric Remedi, Cristian Espinoza, Jan Gregus, Jackson Yueill, Jamiro Monteiro and Jeremy Ebobisse.
ℹ️ Team News: Colorado Rapids
Colorado Rapids manager Robin Fraser has to currently contend with reduced team options. Oliver Larraz (Tibia Fracture), Aboubacar Keita (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) and Braian Galván (Cruciate Ligament Surgery) are those who can’t be considered.
We’re of the thinking that Colorado Rapids might begin the game with a 3-4-3 system, choosing William Yarbrough, Keegan Rosenberry, Lalas Abubakar, Auston Trusty, Jonathan Lewis, Bryan Acosta, Mark-Anthony Kaye, Steve Beitashour, Andre Shinyashiki, Gyasi Zardes and Max Alves.
💡 Prediction
We’re of the view that Colorado Rapids and San Jose Earthquakes should both get enough opportunities to score, although it’s hard to separate the two.
It could well end in a draw. We’re therefore expecting a very even match with a 1-1 score draw at the end of the match.
