San Jose Earthquakes
Nashville and San Jose Earthquakes square off against each other at Geodis Park in a highly-anticipated MLS game. Nashville have been in a fine form of late, with the team beating both Montreal and Colorado Rapids, while sharing the spoils with Atlanta United. Gary Smith’s men aim to keep on climbing the standings, and they are surely capable of matching San Jose on home soil.
All Randall Leal, Irakoze Donasiyano, Robert Castellanos, and Teal Bunbury should miss out with injuries, while defender Walker Zimmerman is on international duty with the U.S. national team. The Earthquakes, on the other hand, made a slow start to the season, with the team sitting in the penultimate position ahead of the trip to Tennessee. Both Gilbert Fuentes and George Asomani are sidelined through injuries, and seeing that Nashville are a real force to be reckoned with at home, the visitors are unlikely to grab something from Sunday’s clash.
