Under Bruce Arena's guidance in 2025, the San Jose Earthquakes demonstrated a mixed performance; while they ultimately failed to qualify for the playoffs, they persevered through 11 victories, battling all the way to the final matches. Such performance was certainly an improvement over the seemingly endless string of unfavorable results that typically saw San Jose finish near the bottom of the MLS standings. The improvement had several contributing factors, including the emergence of new players like Cristian Espinoza.

However, it's safe to say that the 2026 Quakes will be different from last year's team. In a risky move, they let Espinoza go to Nashville, but they brought in veteran Timo Werner from RB Leipzig, and they've made room for him to play a leading role.

On the Sporting Kansas City side, San Jose's first MLS opponent at PayPal Park, the arrival of Lasse Berg Johnsen is a notable addition. The Norwegian comes from Malmö and will try to help rebuild Kansas City's playing identity.

Our San Jose Earthquakes vs Sporting Kansas City Prediction

San Jose scored 60 goals last season, a figure comparable only to the clubs that topped the MLS standings; therefore, it was statistically surprising that they missed the playoffs, but their defensive shortcomings ultimately doomed them.

A true goal fest ensued when San Jose and Kansas City faced off at PayPal Park last time: the game ended 3-5, with five different players scoring for the visitors.

Our prediction for San Jose vs Kansas City is: Over 3.5 goals.

Prediction:

 

Over 3.5
