Colorado Rapids

injured: MF Steven Kinney 

Chicago fire

Injured: MF Jamie Smith; DF Anthony Wallace; MF Pablo Mastroeni

Colorado started with easy two matches, but now their fixture list is more interesting. The team was demolished against NYRB and made numerous defensive mistakes. OK, here they will not be under the pressure that was in New York. But the team lacks sparkle in the midfield and attack - Cummings is a good forward, but the team needs more passing ability upfront to create chances for him.

Chicago stood pretty well in the matches so far. The defense rarely allows chances, let alone goals. The midfield is helping the defense a lot, but is always ready to supply fast Nyarko and Oduro with balls. And even though the two Ghanains are not natural goalgetters, they could do a good job here.

Tip: Chicago Fire +0.5
