Our prediction for this MLS match:
San Jose Earthquakes will be looking to build on a morale-boosting 4-2 win over FC Dallas when they welcome Los Angeles Galaxy to PayPal Park. The Quakes showed signs of life in that match, especially in the final third, and they will be eager to give fans another reason to celebrate. Despite being without Wilson Valdez, Niko Tsakiris, and Cruz Medina Buck through injury, San Jose are expected to stick with an attacking approach.
LA Galaxy, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 defeat to Colorado Rapids, extending their inconsistent form on the road. With midfield maestro Riqui Puig still sidelined, Galaxy are likely to struggle to control the tempo in midfield. Their poor away record continues to raise concerns, and this trip to Northern California could pose another tough challenge. Given San Jose’s newfound confidence and LA’s travel woes, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Sunday's clash.
Highlighted Team (Los Angeles Galaxy):

Los Angeles Galaxy are probably the most famous American soccer club. The club have been participating in the MLS since 1996 and San Jose Earthquakes are considered their bitterest rivals. A number of top-class players were part of the team in the past, but, no doubt, David Beckham is the club’s most significant star. The former Manchester United star played for LA Galaxy from 2007 to 2012 and he scored 18 goals in 98 appearances in the league for the club.
Fellow England international Steven Gerrard is yet another Premier League ace who joined LA Galaxy. Stevie G signed a $9 million deal with the club in June, 2015. One year before he arrived to Los Angeles, the Galaxy won their fifth MLS Cup, with the team beating New England Revolution (2-1) in the final of the tournament, but winning the CONCACAF Champions League in 2000 is considered the club’s biggest success. The MLS outfit outplayed Olimpia of Honduras in the title game, with Ezra Hendrickson scoring the winning goal ten minutes before the final whistle.
Los Angeles Galaxy play their home games at StubHub Center, the stadium that was opened on June 1, 2003. The capacity of the venue is 27.000.
