After a three-week break, the Colorado Rapids are back against a Sporting Kansas City squad who are on an 11-game unbeaten streak at Children’s Mercy Park. SKC is 1-0-3 so far this season, with two goals for and just one goal against.
On the Rapids side, this is our first game without captain Sam Cronin and left fullback Marc Burch, so some disjointedness is to be expected. Nana Boateng is getting his first start in what will presumably be his position for the rest of the year, and there’s some shifting around in the back line to get both Mekeil Williams and Eric Miller in the lineup.
