Our prediction for this MLS match:
Earthaquakes Stadium will host Saturday’s MLS game between San Jose and Nashville, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. Nashville climbed to the playoffs berth thanks to a 2-1 win over Sporting Kansas City, while San Jose head into the match as the rock-bottom side with only two points in their pocket. As a result, the visitors are seen as favourites to win the match, but they will have to prove their worth on the field.
Both Robert Castellanos and Teal Bunbury are likely to miss the game with injuries for the away side. The Earthquakes, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-3 defeat to Houston Dynamo, which is yet another reason why we are going to put our money on the visiting side. All Cardoso, Salinas, and Asomani remain in the recovery room for the home team.
