Adam Beaudry (Ankle injury) and Ali Fadal (Knee injury) will be missing for Colorado Rapids manager Chris Armas.

In our view, Colorado Rapids will probably employ a 4-4-2 system for the game and select Zack Steffen, Reggie Cannon, Andreas Maxsö, Chidozie Awaziem, Jackson Travis, Kévin Cabral, Oliver Larraz, Josh Atencio, Djordje Mihailovic, Darren Yapi and Rafael Navarro.

📰 Team News: San Jose Earthquakes

San Jose Earthquakes manager Bruce Arena has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Benji Kikanović (Leg injury) and Hernán López (Shoulder injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

From our viewpoint, Quakes will likely make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation, settling for Daniel, Nick Lima, David Romney, Daniel Munie, Jamar Ricketts, Mark-Anthony Kaye, Beau Leroux, DeJuan Jones, Niko Tsakiris, Amahl Pellegrino and Preston Judd.

⚡ Prediction

In this match, San Jose Earthquakes will do well to be scoring even one goal against a Colorado Rapids outfit who will more than likely score a lot of goals.

We predict a very comprehensive 3-0 winning scoreline for Colorado Rapids at the end of the game.
