Seattle Sounders vs San Jose Earthquakes: Storylines
Seattle are third in the West but they can finish the regular season with the highest position at the conference. They will need a Sporting Kansas City’s loss or tie vs Real Salt Lake and a Portland’s loss or tie vs LAFC, and of course, they need to beat San Jose, to snatch that 1st position in the Western Conference.
A victory for San Jose would give them 33 points, more than Minnesota, LAFC and Colorado Rapids. However, they have played more games than the three teams mentioned, so it’s a complex situation for them.
This will be the fourth meet between these teams. Seattle won 7-1 on September 10, while the other two games ended up in goalless draws.
