San Jose Earthquakes
FC Dallas take on San Jose Earthquakes in the opening match of their MLS campaign. The Toros defeated the likes of Odd (4-1) and DC United (2-0) in their last two warm-up games, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Sunday’s encounter. Both Alan Velasco and Geovane Jesus are out of contention with injuries for the home side. The Earthquakes, on the other hand, head into the season opener following a 1-1 draw with Vancouver Whitecaps.
San Jose are not regarded as good travellers and, taking everything into account, both sides should be happy with one point form the match. As for the visiting side, goalkeeper James Marcinkowski remains in the recovery room, with Daniel likely to start in goal. In their last encounter in the Major League Soccer the two teams played out a 1-1 draw and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
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.
