Colorado Rapids host San Jose Earthquakes at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on Saturday, October 10 (9:30 PM ET \/ 8:30 PM CT \/ 6:30 PM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

No fresh absences have emerged on either side heading into this one, so Colorado Rapids should again lean on the players who’ve carried their attack all season. Paxten Aaronson, with 7 goals and 51 chances created, is the clear creative focal point, while striker Darren Yapi offers a route to goal having struck 3 times. San Jose Earthquakes will build around striker Preston Judd, whose 15 goals from 72 shots make him one of the league’s most productive forwards, with fellow striker Ousseni Bouda and attacking midfielder Nikolas Tsakiris supplying service from midfield.<\/p>\n

San Jose arrive full of goals, with a 3-1 win over Portland Timbers their most recent result, backed by victories over Houston Dynamo and San Diego FC either side of a 2-2 draw with LAFC. Colorado’s own recent matches have been scrappier \u2014 a 3-3 shootout with Seattle Sounders and a battling 1-0 win over CF Montreal sandwiched a heavier 3-0 loss at Columbus Crew \u2014 but home advantage at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, plus the firepower of Aaronson and Yapi, should be enough to edge a game where both teams find the net.<\/p>\n\n\n
