The Story:
City enters the weekend riding a five-game unbeaten streak, most recently taking a 3-0 shutout victory from the New York Red Bulls last Saturday.
The Lions are set to face a Colorado side that has dropped five of its last six contests, searching for its first win since May 7.
City holds a 4-1-2 record against the Rapids throughout Club history, with three of its four victories coming in The City Beautiful.
Should he get the start on Saturday night, Lions' goalkeeper Pedro Gallese will become the first netminder in Club history to reach 100 appearances in all competitions.
Quote of the Week:
"The Colorado [Rapids] are a team that are finding their way. We know the [Head] Coach [Robin Fraser], and they have good players. We have to be very cautious about thinking that it is going to be an easy [match]. Colorado is a good [team] and have very good players. They have been playing well, regardless of their scoring. We are respecting the rival, trying to get better, and not thinking that we are already there. We're not, we're far from it. We need to keep going and if we keep this consistency of performing well, we are closer to getting better results."
- Head Coach Oscar Pareja
