Philladelphia

Unavailable: Amobi Okugo, Freddy Adu (USA U-23)

Colorado Rapids

Injured: FW Conor Casey; MF Jamie Smith; DF Anthony Wallace

In the 1st round Philladelphia looked like they would be the main relegation candidate if there was such in MLS. The team had a sloppy outing and despite taking the lead never looked comfortable in both phases. The Goalie Macmath had a torrid game and hopefully he will be back with some more confidence between the gates. Philly did not created anything upfront and given their showing, they will need much time to get the play fluid. 

Colorado does not have the strickers to earn important points and this will prevent the team from winning similar to this encounters. Cummings does not have finishing skills to get a goal from 1-2 goalchances. At least he has pace and this will be valued in the away fixtures. The injury of Casey is not that bad a thing, as Rapids have sufficient pace in their midfield and here they do not deserve to be such a large underdogs. 

Tip: Colorado +0.25
