Colorado Rapids vs Seattle Sounders FC Match Preview
Seattle Sounders FC will be looking to extend a four game unbeaten streak when they travel to face the defending MLS Champion Colorado Rapids on Friday.
Colorado will enter this game looking to avoid a third straight defeat, the Rapids will be hoping to bounce back immediately from the 1-0 defeat suffered against rivals Real Salt Lake at the weekend.
Forward pair Quincy Amarikwa and Macoumba Kandji are ruled out with injury for Colorado, while Conor Casey is ruled out with a hamstring injury. Midfielder Pablo Mastroeni looks set to return from injury for the Rapids, while Sanna Nyassi is likely to shake off a hamstring strain in time to play.
Alvaro Fernandez could return to the starting lineup for the Sounders after scoring in last weekend’s 1-1 against the Philadephia Union. Pat Noonan has a quad strain but is likely to be fit for the trip to Denver.
