San Jose Earthquakes
DDDLLL ๐
After a losing effort in their last game against Vancouver Whitecaps in MLS competition, San Jose Earthquakes will be hoping to turn things around here.
In that match, San Jose Earthquakes managed 61% possession and 9 shots at goal with 2 on target. Vancouver Whitecaps got 8 shots on goal with 4 on target. Alexander Schรถpf (74') and Ali Ahmed (86') scored for Vancouver Whitecaps.
The strike force from San Jose Earthquakes have suffered from a shortage of goals over their previous 6 clashes, netting the unsatisfactory return of just 4. In those fixtures, Quakes have also seen the collective goal tally against them equal 9. While that may be of interest, we will just have to wait and see if such a trend will be replicated in this upcoming game or not.

๐ฐ Team News: Sporting Kansas City
There arenโt many selection issues, with just the lone fitness concern for the Sporting Kansas City gaffer Peter Vermes to contend with from an otherwise fully-primed group. Khiry Shelton (Ankle surgery) is out of contention.
Itโs our opinion that SKC will probably go for a 4-3-3 system for this one, utilising Tim Melia, Jacob Davis, Daniel Rosero, Robert Voloder, Tim Leibold, Erik Thommy, Nemanja Radoja, Memo Rodriguez, Johnny Russell, Alan Pulido and Daniel Salloi.
โน๏ธ Team News: San Jose Earthquakes
Due to a mostly available group, thereโs only the lone fitness problem for the San Jose Earthquakes gaffer Luchi Gonzalez to be concerned about. JT Marcinkowski (Knee injury) misses out for this game.
Itโs our belief that Quakes appear most likely to play in a 4-4-2 formation, starting the game with Daniel, Paul Marie, Bruno Wilson, Rodrigues, Vitor, Cristian Espinoza, Carlos Gruezo, Jackson Yueill, Amahl Pellegrino, Preston Judd and Jeremy Ebobisse.
๐ฎ Prediction
In this match, Sporting Kansas City will more than likely score a couple of goals when they line up against San Jose Earthquakes, who may well struggle to break down their defence.
