The Californian clash between the reigning MLS champs and the San Jose Earthquakes highlights this Saturday night. The home unit is in problems, struggling to reach the desired level of play. It’s the same with San Jose, who can’t get the groove but is still in the playoff zone.
Before Betting on LA FC vs. San Jose Earthquakes
LA FC lost three in a row and is again in a slump. The champs had two of those defeats on the road, against FC Dallas, 2-0, and LA Galaxy, 2-1, and one at home, vs. Vancouver Whitecaps, 2-3. After a brief period in which FC posted back-to-back triumphs, they are again on the downhill.
Once again, we’ve seen them collapsing on the defensive side of the ball. Just two clean sheets in 15 meetings is a bad sign, and the FC needs to improve this part of its game in order to be competitive. One more thing, five of their previous six appearances at home ended with two goals at most, which is odd considering their style of play.
The Quakes have only two victories in 10 games but are still in the playoff zone, and that’s mostly because other rivals posted shaky results as well. Though, the opponents are very close, and only four points separate them and the teams outside the playoff and the play-in zone.
San Jose’s games are efficient, and four of the previous five ended with three or more goals. Seven in 10 saw both teams netting, which is yet another proof that the Quakes’ events bring a thrill.

The FC is in a must-win situation and has no option but to attack right from the start. Steve Cherundolo’s crew has the quality to beat the Quakes, who aren’t in some particular great shape, especially on the road, so the MLS champs should win this one.
