📋 Team News: San Jose Earthquakes

It looks as if Quakes may well line up in a 3-4-2-1 system this time, beginning the first half with Earl Edwards Jr., Max Floriani, Daniel Munie, Bruno Wilson, DeJuan Jones, Ian Harkes, Beau Leroux, Vitor Costa, Cristian Espinoza, Hernán López Munoz and Ousseni Bouda.

🗞️ Team News: Houston Dynamo

Houston Dynamo manager Ben Olsen has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Erik Sviatchenko (Leg injury), Nelson Quiñónes (Knee injury), Lawrence Ennali (Cruciate ligament tear), Andrew Tarbell (Cruciate ligament tear) and Daniel Steres (Leg injury) are those who can’t be considered.

From our viewpoint, Orange Crush appear most likely to make use of a 4-3-3 lineup using Jimmy Maurer, Franco Escobar, Ethan Bartlow, Pablo Ortiz, Felipe Andrade, Brooklyn Raines, Artur, Erik Dueñas, Nicolas Lodeiro, Toyosi Olusanya and Sebastian Kowalczyk.

⚡ Prediction

We believe that Houston Dynamo may not find it easy to get anything against this San Jose Earthquakes lineup who we think should do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a 1-0 win for San Jose Earthquakes when the full-time whistle blows.

A close call.
