Lineup Prediction
Everyone is back from injury but for Bernard Kamungo and no one is suspended. Even though he was involved in training this week I would not start Alan Velasco in his first game back. Instead, he can have 30 minutes off the bench.
But other than Velasco it’s first choice cause this one needs to be won. Forget all the scenarios. Just win.
