Prediction: 2-1
San Jose Earthquakes
Dallas and San Jose Earthquakes, the two teams who are level on points in the Western Conference, take on each other at Toyota Stadium in what is expected to be a close encounter. Following a thrilling 5-3 loss at Austin, the Toros suffered a 3-2 loss to Real Salt Lake City at the weekend to drop 11th place in Western Conference. Dallas aim to move closer to the playoffs berth, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Sunday’s clash.
Both Bressan and Nelson are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team. The Earthquakes aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Colorado Rapids, but beating Dallas on the road is easier said than done. Since the Toros have been impressive in front of goal of late, home win should be considered.
