San Jose Earthquakes desperately need points on Sunday, Jul 26 at 4:30 AM in the MLS. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

San Jose Earthquakes come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). LA Galaxy, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 2D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, San Jose Earthquakes face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. LA Galaxy have won 7 of 10 encounters, 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 San Jose Earthquakes a slight edge, but LA Galaxy are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
