There's Major League Soccer action taking place in San Jose this Saturday, with the Earthquakes going up against an exciting and explosive San Diego team. Unfortunately for the visitors, being exciting and explosive doesn't always bring about positive results, as they've recently found out. Mikey Varas' men have now failed to win three games on the bounce in all competitions, and that's mainly because they simply give too much away by being too open. In contrast, the hosts are nice and sturdy, giving little away, and that could be key here.
Sure, the San Diego boys know how to entertain and they can hurt just about any MLS team if they're having a good day, though I really do question whether they have the grit and defensive solidity to go to PayPal Park and pick up a positive result, so much so that I'll be betting on the home win when these two clash on Saturday evening.

Our San Jose Earthquakes vs San Diego FC Prediction
This really is a case of solidity being too hard to ignore. The San Jose boys have made it their mission be keep things nice and tight so far this season, and given that they have the offensive quality to take advantage at the other end, such an approach has worked wonders. In contrast, the visitors have been all over the place defensively, especially away from home, and unless they tighen up considerably, they'll be met with defeat, much as they were when recently venturing out on the road in the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
