San Jose Earthquakes
Minnesota United and San Jose Earthquakes face each other at Allianz Field in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Sunday’s program. The Loons are on a three-game losing run in the Major League Soccer, but they are still in the race for a spot in the playoffs. Minnesota United are likely to go all guns blazing at the Earthquakes, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Both Robin Lod and Ryen Jiba are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
San Jose, on the other hand, are eager to stay in the playoffs berth and, no doubt, they would be happy with one point from Sunday’s clash. The two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment and, taking everything into account, the share of spoils is on the cards. Both Jack Skahan and Nathan Cardoso are sidelined with injuries for the away team.
