San Jose suffered their sixth league-defeat of the season against Houston Dynamo last time out despite the fact that Carlos Akapo found the back of the net in the first half. The result ended their five-match unbeaten run that included two wins against Seattle Sounders and Philadelphia Union. Luchi Gonzalez’s men have recorded seven MLS-wins this term and their last success came against Philadelphia two weeks ago, thanks to Jeremy Ebobisse’s early opener and Miguel Trauco’s winner three minutes before the hour mark. Meanwhile, the Clash are undefeated on home soil this season having recorded six wins and three draws from nine MLS-matches at PayPal Park so far.
St. Louis City, on the other hand, have lost each of their last four away-games across all competitions, while not tasting victory in their previous seven matches on the road. The Louligans are heading into the match on the back of a four-game winless streak, losing three fixtures in the process. Last time out, Bradley Carnell’s men suffered their seventh league-defeat of the campaign against Real Salt Lake despite the fact that Nicholas Gioacchini got on the scoresheet. Nevertheless, St. Louis have won nine top flight games this term and their latest success came against Houston Dynamo earlier this month thanks to three unanswered goals from Eduard Lowen, Tomas Ostrak and Giocchini.
San Jose Earthquakes probable starting lineup: Daniel, Akapo, Rodrigues, Mensah, Trauco, Yueill, Judson, Monteiro, Espinoza, Ebobisse, Kikanovic
St Louis City probable starting lineup: Burki, Nerwinski, Bartlett, Parker, Hiebert, Perez, Vassilev, Stroud, Ostrak, Pompeu, Gioacchini
