Our prediction for this MLS match:
Bank of America Stadium will host Sunday’s MLS game between Charlotte and Colorado Rapids. The hosts aim to recover from a 3-1 loss to Real Salt Lake, and they are surely capable of matching the Rapids in front of home fans. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but all Ashley Westwood, Kristijan Kahlina, and Guzman Corujo remain in the recovery room.
The Rapids, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Sporting Kansas City. Colorado, though, often struggle on the travels, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on draw. All Andreas Maxso, Braian Galvan, Moise Bombito, Jack Price, Jackson Travis, Aboubacar Keita, and Dantouma Toure are out of contention with injuries. In their last meeting in the Major League Soccer the two teams played out a goalless draw.
Highlighted Player (Diego Rubio):
Diego Rubio is a Chilean attacker who signed his first professional deal with Colo-Colo. Rubio, though, made only eight league appearances (scoring three goals) for the Chilean outfit and in 2011 he moved to Europe, signing a deal with Primeira Liga team Sporting Lisbon. After playing only 11 league matches for the Lions, the 179-cm tall striker joined Spanish club Valladolid at the age of 22.
It has to be noted that during his spell with Sporting Lisbon he was loaned to the likes of Pandurii Targu Kiu and Sandnes Ulf. On September 1, 2016 Diego Rubio signed a permanent teal with Sporting Kansas City and he has been playing for the MLS club ever since.
Rubio was born on May 15, 1993 in Santiago, the capital of Chile, and he made his debut for the Chilean national football team in June, 2011 against Paraguay. His contract with Sporting Kansas City expires on June 30, 2017.
