Team Analysis
● Colorado (5th in the Western US / LWLWD)
The team's overall strategy is quite aggressive, relying heavily on their overall strength. Though their defense isn't the best due to issues with the left back and the goalkeeper's low save rate, the depth in their second line is impressive, even if Mihailovic goes to the Olympics. Without an ace currently, Salt Lake may struggle to shine offensively.
- Absentees
Mihailovic (MF / Grade A), Budri (GK / Grade C), Harris (RW / Grade A), Travis (LB / Grade C)
● Salt Lake (3rd in the Western US / WLWLD)
Without Arango, the attack has been quite frustrating. During the LAFC match, they only managed to balance the game with a long-range goal, and overall, the performance of their attackers was disappointing. Due to a lack of depth in the No.10 position, Salt Lake's only hope is a quick end to Arango's suspension. While the midfield led by Ojeda can prevent conceding many goals, Crooks falling short of being a game-changing super-sub is a significant issue.

Arango (FW / Grade A), Silva (DF / Grade A), Luiz (MF / Grade C)
