However, the team will still be without the services of Brandon Vazquez, who will miss this clash due to knee issues. Regardless, Nico Estévez will continue with his 4-4-2 tactical formation, which will feature Brad Stuver in goal and the defensive duo of Brendan Hines-Ike and Oleksandr Svatok in the heart of the defence. Besard Sabovic and Ilie Sanchez will hold the middle, providing attacking support for Diego Rubio and Myrto Uzuni up front.

San Jose Earthquakes returned to winning ways with a 2-1 win over Houston Dynamo in their last game, with goals from Cristian Arango and Preston Judd in the 28th and 64th minutes, respectively. Prior to the win, the Quakes had lost 2-1 to San Diego FC, and they continue to search for their first back-to-back win since May. They are now winless in eight of their last ten games and have lost three of their last four games on the road.

The fight to secure an automatic playoff spot is still on, but they need to continue winning to avoid dropping down in the table.
