Analysis

Sporting Kansas City will be without several key players when they host the Colorado Rapids on Saturday night. Midfielder Gadi Kinda and defender Logan Ndenbe are both out with ankle injuries, while defender Graham Zusi is out with a hamstring injury. The Rapids, on the other hand, will be at full strength. Kinda has been a key player for Sporting KC this season, starting all but one game and scoring two goals. Zusi has also been a regular starter, appearing in 19 games this season. Ndenbe has been a key part of Sporting KC's defense, starting 16 games this season. The absences of Kinda, Zusi, and Ndenbe will be a blow to Sporting KC, but they will still have a strong team on the field. Midfielder Johnny Russell is in good form, having scored four goals in his last five games. Forward Khiry Shelton is also a threat, having scored seven goals this season. The Rapids will be looking to take advantage of Sporting KC's depleted squad. They will be led by midfielder Jack Price, who has been in excellent form this season. Price has scored five goals and provided four assists in 19 games this season. Forward Diego Rubio is also a threat, having scored six goals this season. The game is expected to be a close one. Sporting KC will be looking to bounce back from their loss to the Seattle Sounders last weekend, while the Rapids will be looking to continue their good form.
