Columbus Crew is expected to contend for silverware; however, a recent turn has created more unexpected turbulence. The 1-0 setback to Inter Miami not only halted a three-match winning streak but also put under scrutiny the management decisions taken within the club. Of particular note is the shift in venue to Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland, where a record-high crowd of over 60,000 fans were present, but the lively presence of the Nordecke supporters' group was absent, as they protested by withholding their support. Consequently, a very disjointed-looking Columbus side could not display their usual attacking fluidity in the match despite having 59 percent possession and three shots on target.
Currently sitting 4th in the East Conference (5W-3D-1L), they come in after a DWWWL. At home, they are solid (DWDWL), but there are some cracks beginning to show, particularly at the defensive end. They have conceded goals in each of the last four games and in five of the last seven both teams have scored. Columbus games have been oddly low on corners as well, with under 10.5 corners in each of their last five matchups.
One major roster change happened on April 22 as Crew defender DeJuan Jones was traded to the San Jose Earthquakes in exchange for $425,000 in General Allocation Money and an international roster slot in 2025. Although Jones had played in only five games this season, the move indicates a major tactical overhaul, especially to bolster a much-weakened back line.
This time they will be looking to bounce back in front of their fans, capitalizing on San Jose's poor away form.

✈️ San Jose Earthquakes: form and statistics
The San Jose Earthquakes are an unusual case. They score freely, but concede even faster. They promise to entertain but fail to grab that all-important point. A 5-3 defeat against Sporting Kansas City was, in many ways, a summation of their season-high possession (67%), good attacking numbers (7 shots on target), but pretty porous defensively. They sit 10th in the Western Conference on a 3W-1D-5L slate, with only two wins in their last three matches. Away form is concerning with 2 losses out of 3.
San Jose has conceded in all 8 matches this season, regularly getting sucked into high-scoring matches, with five of their last six games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in six straight matches. They tend to start slowly, with the first goal against them in five of their last seven contests. Yet, they remain unusually disciplined, with fewer than 4.5 cards in each of their last seven games and generally low corner counts – under 10.5 corners in four of their last five.
Off the pitch, San Jose has been active with a young defender on loan, Oscar Verhoeven, and the acquisition of DeJuan Jones from Columbus, including the talented Noel Buck. Jones arrives for immediate impact on a wavering backline, but he'll need time to settle in.
📋 San Jose Earthquakes Lineup
🔖 Expected Lineup (3-5-2): E. Edwards Jr. – D. Romney, D. Munie, Rodriguez – B. Leroux, M. Kaye, Niko Tsakiris, Vitor Costa – C. Espinoza, C. Arango, Josef Martinez
⛔️ Out: Bruno Wilson, Daniel, H. Lopez

⚽ Columbus Crew vs San Jose Earthquakes Match Prediction
This is destined to be a thrilling match, with each ingredient having its place. Columbus appears more structured and a bit more professional; however, the chaotic fervor and attacking flair of San Jose make them a dangerous enemy. But Columbus' home form and tactical shape against San Jose's defensive frailties will tilt the balance in favor of the Crew. Goals, drama, and magic moments are expected; however, the defensive discipline will not be much in evidence.
