Prediction: 1-1
Nashville
Dick’s Sporting Goods Park will host Sunday’s football game between Colorado Rapids and Nashville, the two sides who are eager to record their first win of the new season. Colorado aim to bounce back from a heavy 4-1 loss to Portland Timbers, but they face a tough challenge against the Coyotes. Daniel Chacon should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Boys in Gold, on the other hand, played out a goalless draw with New York Red Bulls in the opening match of their MLS campaign. Considering that Colorado Rapids are tough to beat at home, yet another close encounter is on the cards; therefore, we are going to put our money on draw. As for the visiting side, both Ben Martino and Randall Leal are sidelined with injuries, while duo Sam Surridge – Hany Mukhtar will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
