LA Galaxy vs San Jose Earthquakes: Storylines and Head-to-Head
Timing may not be completely great for both sides to face this important game. However, it provides a good chance for recovery. Los Angeles Galaxy are currently in a good spot in the MLS standings, but last weekend's defeat was quite worrying. Still, Vanney's side won its three home games this term so far.
San Jose Earthquakes found themselves on a rough patch after a promising beginning to their campaign. Almeyda's boys were beaten in their last three matches, all of them at home. They've won in their last away game, though, coming from behind to defeat 2-1 Real Salt Lake. Will they get back to winning ways on the road?
This will be the 85th Cali Clásico between these two MLS teams. San Jose Earthquakes have been dominant with 14 victories, while LA Galaxy claimed ten wins, and they've tied nine times. Moreover, the Quakes won the last two meetings. The last time they've beaten Galaxy three consecutive times, though, was in 2005.
