Player to watch: Djordje Mihailovic
Djordje Mihailovic is the player to watch in our professional San Jose Earthquakes vs Colorado Rapids prediction because he is the mastermind behind the Rapids’ attacks. With two assists since the start of the season, we believe Mihailovic will do his best to ruin our betting recommendations.
Second player to watch: Rafael Navarro
Finally, we have Navarro of Colorado Rapids. The striker found the net on three occasions, which is why we believe his place among the starters is secured.
