Prediction: 1-0
Houston Dynamo
Following a goalless draw with Toronto, San Jose Earthquakes will look to get back on course when they welcome Houston Dynamo to their PayPal Park in the Major League Soccer. San Jose are eyeing their third win of the process, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. All Daniel, Carlos Gruezo, Niko Tsakiris, and Nathan Cardoso are out of contention with injuries, while there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Orange Crush, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Austin and New York City, but given their difficulties on the road, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. Both Xavier Valdez and Brad Smith are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the visiting side. Colombia midfielder Luis Alberto Caicedo is pushing for a recall to the starting XI.
Highlighted Player (Hector Herrera):
Mexico international Hector Herrera is a 26-year-old midfielder playing for Portugal giants FC Porto. Herrera began his career with Pachuca in 2010 and spent three years at the club before being sold to Porto. During his first season with the Dragons Herrera struggled for playing time, but he went on to cement his place in the starting eleven, becoming one of the most valuable players for the club.
Herrera has since them racked up over 110 performances for the Portugal side, scoring over 20 goals in the process. Full Mexico international since 2012, Hector Herrera represented his country at the 2014 World Cup.
During the summer of 2016 Herrera was heavily linked with a move away from Porto and was reported to have made a personal agreement with Italian side Napoli, but the €25 million asking price proved to be a stumbling block that ended up ruining the deal.
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.
