San Jose and LAFC will face off in a match to improve their position in the standings heading into the playoffs; it's also a clash between the fourth and sixth-placed teams in MLS. In April of this year, with a goal from Bouda, San Jose pulled off a stunning 4-1 victory over LAFC at BMO Stadium.

After winning a Leagues Cup in regulation time and two more on penalties, LAFC's success wasn't enough to advance to the next round. From then on, their MLS campaign fizzled out, winning only one of their next seven matches. Even more concerning, they fell 3-1 to last-place Sporting Kansas City in their last game.

Of course, LAFC started the season among the favorites to win this MLS Cup; they have a squad brimming with talent, and their stars have delivered on the pitch. Son Heung-Min has only one fewer assist than league leader Messi, and Gabonese striker Bouanga is aiming for another 20-goal season.

San Jose Earthquakes - Los Angeles FC Key Points

  4. In the last 14 LAFC-San Jose matches, both teams have scored

Our San Jose Earthquakes vs Los Angeles FC Prediction

While LAFC has been losing steam, San Jose has gained momentum in September and is undefeated in four matches, with two wins in their last two games: a 3-2 victory over San Diego and a 1-0 win against Houston thanks to a goal from Munie.

San Jose has achieved this streak without their star player Timo Werner, who is out with an injury. However, just in time, Niko Tsakiris, the promising 21-year-old midfielder, returned to the team, scoring one goal and providing three assists in the last three matches.

Our prediction for San Jose Earthquakes vs LAFC is: Over 3.5 goals.
