Seeking to make it two wins from two consecutive away games in the MLS for the first time since August 2021, Colorado Rapids visit the BC Place Stadium to face Vancouver Whitecaps on Wednesday.
Both sides head into the game separated by just one point and one place in the Western Conference standings and this makes for an exciting and thrilling contest.
Match preview
Vancouver Whitecaps will be without the trio of Cristian Gutierrez, Luis Martins and Cristian Gutierrez, who are all recuperating from calf injuries.
Brazilian midfielder Caio Alexandre is yet to make an appearance this August after testing positive for COVID-19, while Brian White recently picked up a rib injury.
Fellow midfielder Deiber Caicedo and will play no part in this weekend’s encounter through a meniscus injury, while Dajome is suspended after receiving his marching orders at the weekend.
As far as Colorado Rapids are concerned, Fraser will be unable to call upon the midfield duo of Jack Price and Oliver Larraz, who are currently battling calf and leg injuries respectively.
Aboubacar Keita and Argentine forward Braian Galvan have both been sidelined through ACL injuries and are out of contention for the visiting side.
With his equaliser against the Crew, Rubio now boasts seven goal involvements in his last fine outings and the in-form forward will certainly be one to keep an eye out for on Wednesday.
Vancouver Whitecaps possible starting lineup:
Cropper; Brown, Veselinovic, Nerwinski, Gressel; Teibert, Cubas, Raposo; Vite, Gauld, Ongaro
