San Jose has had a forgettable season, with only six wins and an abysmal 75 goals conceded. Offensively, Jeremy Ebobisse and Aké Pellegrino lead the way with six and seven goals, respectively. However, this hasn’t been enough to lift the team, as the attack has been inconsistent and lacks depth.

Defensively, San Jose has struggled all season, with one of the league's worst defensive records.

Expect another long night for San Jose as the Earthquakes try to plug the holes in the defense.

LAFC is the stronger side, with a superior attack and a more consistent defense. San Jose has shown little to suggest they can keep up with LAFC, especially on the road. Final Score Prediction: LAFC 3-0.
