Prediction: 2-1
San Jose Earthquakes
Charlotte will look to build on a 2-0 win over Cincinnati when they take on San Jose Earthquakes at Bank of America Stadium. Charlotte aim to keep their 100% record at home intact, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. With no fresh injury concerns to report, boss Dean Smith is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated FC Cincinnati 2-0.
The Earthquakes, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Minnesota United and Colorado Rapids. San Jose have suffered a dip in form and given Charlotte’s fine performances at home, we predict that the visitors will return home empty-handed. Benjamin Kikanovic is rated doubtful for the visiting side and the 25-year-old will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. There are no other selection worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to North Carolina.
Highlighted Team (San Jose Earthquakes):
San Jose Earthquakes are members of the Western Conference of Major League Soccer. The Quakes have been participating in the league since 1996 and they won their first MLS Cup trophy in 2001. Back then San Jose outplayed star-studded Los Angeles Galaxy in the title game, but it has to be noted that they scored the winner in the extra time.
Two years later the Quakes managed to repeat the success, with the team beating Chicago Fire in the 2003 MLS Cup final. Avaya Stadium is the home ground of San Jose Earthquakes and the capacity of the venue is 18.000. The construction of the stadium cost no less than $100 million and the venue was opened in March, 2015. The club’s home colors are blue and black, whilst the Quakes wear white and red shirts and white shorts when playing on the travels.
Chris Wondolowski is the club’s biggest star and he has been playing for San Jose Earthquakes since 2009. The USA ace has 121 league goals on his account ahead of the start of the 2017 season.
