Colorado Rapids team news and form: Chacon injury hits Rapids
New arrival Daniel Chacon suffered a cruciate ligament tear and will be out for quite some time for Colorado Rapids. However, we still believe coach Armas has enough options at his disposal when it comes to his defense, so our Colorado Rapids vs San Jose Earthquakes predictions should succeed.
Predicted lineup: Steffen (GK), Vines, Maxso, Bombito, Rosenberry, Bassett, Cabral, Larraz, Mosso, Navarro & Yapi

San Jose Earthquakes team news and form: Horrendous campaign thus far
Despite the very disappointing start to the 2024 MLS race, San Jose Earthquakes did manage to defeat Cherundolo’s Los Angeles last week. After 90 minutes of play, the result on the scoreboard at Levi’s Stadium was 3-1 in favor of Espinoza and his colleagues, but we consider this result a fluke.
Predicted lineup: Yarbrough (GK), Akapo, Rodrigues, Wilson, Costa, Yueill, Gruezo, Skahan, Pellegrino, Espinoza & Ebobisse

Player to watch: Cristian Espinoza
The good news in front of coach Luchi Gonzalez are that he will be able to count on Cristian Espinoza for the game against in-form Rapids. The bad news is that San Jose are performing at a very bad level this season.
Espinoza can’t do it alone
Team captain Cristian Espinoza has eight assists since the start of the 2024 Major League Soccer campaign, but his colleagues in the attack need to step up their game if the Quakes are to earn a place in the final series play-offs.
