Sporting Kansas City boss Kerry Zavagnin has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Robert Voloder (Broken collarbone), Dany Rosero (Ankle injury) and Nemanja Radoja (Hamstring injury) won’t be making appearances.
From our viewpoint, SKC might elect for a 4-3-3 system, going with John Pulskamp, Khiry Shelton, Jansen Miller, Joaquin Fernandez, Tim Leibold, Jacob Bartlett, Manu Garcia, Zorhan Bassong, M. Suleymanov, Dejan Joveljic and Erik Thommy.

In our view, Sporting Kansas City should get enough chances to score a goal against this Colorado Rapids team, although it realistically won’t be enough to avoid defeat.
We think that it’s going to be a narrow 2-1 win for Colorado Rapids at full-time.
