Prediction: 0-2
Austin FC
Colorado Rapids will be aiming to put an end to their three-game winless run when they take on Austin on Sunday morning. Colorado missed out on a spot in the playoffs, but their pride will be at stake in the season finale. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be experienced forward Diego Rubio, who has found his goalscoring touch of late, while Max Alves is banned for the match. All Aboubacar Keita, William Yarbrough, Alex Gersbach, and Jack Price miss out with injuries.
Austin, on the other hand, are five points behind the playoffs berth and seeing that they want this win more than the hosts, away triumph should be considered. As for the visiting team, Zan Kolmanic remains on the sidelines with an ACL injury. In their last meeting in the Major League Soccer the two sides played out a 1-1 draw.
