Colorado Rapids team news

Rapids boss Chris Armas will have to shuffle his pack, with English centre-half Rob Holding still sidelined by an ankle problem. Midfield options are also stretched — Ali Fadal remains out injured, while creative spark Wayne Frederick is unavailable due to international duty. At the back, Connor Ronan is another absentee, unlikely to return before late August.

Up front, all eyes will be on in-form hitman Rafael Navarro, who leads the Rapids’ scoring charts with 12 goals this season. He’s expected to link up with promising youngster Darren Yapi, whose six goals and two assists have made him a bright spark in Colorado’s attack.

Atlanta United team news

For the visitors, Deila will be pushing for a sharper display after last week's draw at CF Montréal. Atlanta's hopes rest heavily on the shoulders of Aleksandr Miranchuk — seven goals, three assists, and Emmanuel Latte Lath, who’s bagged eight goals and chipped in with one assist.

Veteran shot-stopper Brad Guzan continues to anchor the defence between the posts, with rookie Jayden Hibbert set to occupy the bench while Josh Cohen recovers from injury. The question is whether Atlanta can finally shed their road woes, or if Colorado’s home comfort will once again prove decisive.
