San Jose Earthquakes team news
San Jose Earthquakes approach this fixture after a heavy 4-1 defeat to Minnesota United, but have otherwise been formidable at home, unbeaten in their last five at PayPal Park. Bruce Arena’s side has benefited from attacking invention, notably through Chicho Arango’s technical sharpness and Beau Leroux’s midfield creativity.
There are no reports of key injuries or suspensions impacting their starting lineup, so all primary attackers and first-choice defenders are expected to be available. Their recent record includes an impressive offensive output – San Jose have scored 42 goals this season, although defensive lapses have seen them concede 37, highlighting both their potential and vulnerability.
FC Dallas team news
FC Dallas, meanwhile, make the trip to California low on confidence after four consecutive defeats, their latest setback a 2-0 loss to LAFC. Coach Eric Quill’s side currently grapples with significant defensive issues, conceding 39 goals in 21 matches, and remains winless in their last five away outings.
On the team news front, there are no indications of major suspensions or new injury absences reported ahead of this match, so key contributors like striker Petar Musa, who has found the net three times in his last five matches, and Shaquell Moore, who recently scored a brace from right-back, should be available to start. Dallas will nevertheless need sharp improvements, especially in defensive organization, if they’re to halt their losing streak in San Jose.
