The New York Red Bulls are in Denver to take on the Colorado Rapids on Saturday night, battling both the heat and the elevation.
Kyle Duncan is set to make career start No. 100 for New York, lining up on the opposite side of Dylan Nealis.
This will be the 45th overall regular season meeting between New York and Colorado, with the Rapids leading the overall series with a 20-17-7 mark.
Lewis Morgan and Dante Vanzeir lead the attack for the Red Bulls.
Morgan, who leads the club with nine goals, has played in one career match against Colorado, where he recorded a goal and an assist.
The Red Bulls will deploy Sean Nealis, Andrés Reyes and Noah Eile along the back line, in front of Carlos Coronel in goal.
