San Jose Earthquakes desperately need points on Thursday, Aug 20 at 4:30 AM in the MLS. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.
LA Galaxy come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). San Jose Earthquakes travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
History strongly favours LA Galaxy here — they've won 7 of 10 previous meetings against San Jose Earthquakes, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.2 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives LA Galaxy a slight edge, but San Jose Earthquakes are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
