Los Angeles FC vs San Jose Earthquakes Prediction: This game used to be tough!

Los Angeles FC will return back to the Banc of California Stadium where they will take on San Jose Earthquakes in this week’s MLS game.

Los Angeles FC were looking for their 7th straight league win in their last game against Austin FC last week, but instead they settled for a draw in the end. It was far below their expectations, but the team is fully confident of returning to winning ways in the upcoming game. And for San Jose, their woes have continued in their last 6 games. They ended their last game against Portland Timbers in a defeat last week, so they are now without a win in 6 games.

Los Angeles Fc is ranked 2nd on the western conference table with 34 points while San Jose Earthquakes is ranked 14th with 11 points.

Los Angeles FC

Los Angeles FC are fully expected to get back to winning ways when they face San Jose Earthquakes in this fixture. They are beyond doubt one of the best teams at the moment with a very positive streak of records behind them while the San Jose Earthquake languish at the bottom of the log. So, there’s really one way this game ends for Los Angeles and that is a win.

Los Angeles Fc have been in very good form especially across their last 7 games. They were on a 6-match win streak until last week when they played a draw with Austin FC. In the last 5 games, they had 1 draw and 4 wins. And across their last 10 games, Los Angeles FC recorded 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat, which is by far a very impressive record.

Los Angeles FC were below standard in the game against Austin FC last week as they ended up playing a 1-1 draw. Austin was first to strike in the 19th minute and Los Angeles searched for the equalizer for most parts of the game but failed. Finally in the 90th minute, Kei Kamara scored the equalizer to bring Los Angeles on level terms and the game finished that way.

At the end, Los Angeles had the following stats:- 60% possession, 1 big chance, 8 corner kicks and 1 shot on target.

San Jose Earthquakes

San Jose Earthquakes are in for more trouble as they take a trip to the Banc of California Stadium to face high-flying Los Angeles FC.
