This is an MLS meeting between LA Galaxy and San Jose Earthquakes, and CheckLive has no favourite on this one. That leaves it looking like a close contest, with a draw a very real possibility. Neither side arrives in strong form, so the result is genuinely hard to call.
LA Galaxy's last five league games have brought one winless run of note: a 0-1 loss to Houston Dynamo, a 0-0 draw with FC Dallas, a 1-1 draw with San Jose, a 1-3 loss to St. Louis City and a 0-3 loss to Los Angeles FC. San Jose have lost 1-3 to St. Louis City, 2-4 to FC Cincinnati, 0-4 to Orlando City SC and 1-2 to Club Tijuana in a friendly, with a 1-1 draw against LA Galaxy.
The head-to-head shows LA Galaxy with four wins, three draws and one defeat in eight meetings with San Jose. Their most recent meeting finished 1-1, and with both teams short on wins, the key thing to watch is whether the draw pattern continues or one side finally finds a way through.
