San Diego will take on San Jose Earthquakes on matchday 24 of the MLS regular season on Wednesday. The two sides are in opposite halves of the Western Conference.
Mikey Varas’ San Diego are coming off a 1-0 defeat at Orlando City at the weekend. The visitors bossed possession (54%) but had only two shots on target as Antoine Griezmann’s 28th-minute strike turned out to be the winner.
Thanks for the submission!
Following the defeat, Varas’ side are ninth in the Western Conference, with 30 points from 23 matches, winning eight.
Meanwhile, Bruce Arena’s San Jose are fresh off a 1-1 draw at Austin last week. Beau Leroux’s eighth-minute strike for the visitors looked likely to be the winner before Guilherme Biro forced a share of the spoils with a 97th-minute equaliser.
Following the stalemate, the Quakes are sixth in the Western Conference, with 35 points from 23 outings, winning 10.

San Diego vs San Jose Earthquakes prediction
The two sides have had contrasting campaigns. While both San Diego and San Jose are in the play-off places heading into the postseason, the hosts have had the better overall campaign.
In terms of head-to-head, there’s nothing to separate the two teams, with San Jose having a slender edge in MLS meetings. SDFC have been on a roll at home lately, while the Quakes have floundered on the road.
Considering that, the hosts should eke out another win in front of their home supporters against a San Jose side that’s winless on the road in four games since March.
