We already mentioned this in our St. Louis City vs Colorado Rapids prediction, but we just can’t stress enough how good of a goalscorer Navarro is. The Brazilian striker’s services were acquired after Brazilian giants Palmeiras were handed a massive €4.2m bid for his services.

Second player to watch: Caden Glover
17-year-old Caden Glover will likely get some minutes against the Rapids this week. St. Louis City’s starlet is eager to get his chance, and we are sure he will do his best to make the most of it.
