LAFC were really strong in their away match against Real Salt Lake in the previous round of the US Open Cup. They will now return home for their next assignment, as they will now host San Jose in this round. San Jose struggled a bit against an unlikely opponent but have been pretty solid lately.

LAFC played a really good and strong match on the road against Real Salt Lake in their previous match, eventually beating them by an easy 3-0. LAFC have now won five of their last six and are undefeated in their last nine (6-0-3). They have scored at least three goals in each of their last five wins and kept three clean sheets. LAFC have been phenomenal at home so far in the season (7-0-1) but kept just three clean sheets.
San Jose almost suffered a massive upset against USL side Sacramento Republic in the previous round. They saw their opponents take the lead twice in the first half but managed to pull back twice and eventually win that match by 3-4. They have been in really solid form lately, as they are undefeated in their last five (3-0-2). They have lost just once in the last two months (5-1-4) but have kept just one two clean sheets in that span.

LAFC destroyed San Jose by a harsh 5-0 in San Jose on March 30th, and have now won all three matches against San Jose, scoring a total of 11 goals and conceding three in the process. Now they are very good at home and I doubt that San Jose can challenge them there. Maybe they can score but that’s it. Going with the home team to cover the spread.
