⚽ San Diego FC vs San Jose Earthquakes
Two sides to consider:
■ San Jose case:
The market's heavily backing the Quakes here (72%), and it's easy to see why they've had more consistency going forward this season and look sharper in transition. Their away form has been solid enough to travel with confidence into this one.
■ San Diego case:
As an expansion side SDFC have been scrappy at home and shouldn't be dismissed just because of the odds. A packed home crowd and nothing to lose energy can unsettle a favorite especially early in the game.
■ Key factor:
Whether San Diego can weather the first 20 minutes. If Earthquakes get an early goal, the gap in quality could show fast. If not this stays tighter than the numbers suggest.
