On Saturday night, Los Angeles FC will host San Jose Earthquakes in an MLS matchup at the BMO Stadium. The hosts have not had the best start, sitting in position nine in the Western Conference with 9 points. That's seven points behind Vancouver at the top, meaning Steve Cherundolo's side must start picking up wins to lessen the gap. As if their season couldn't get any worse, they were crushed 3-1 by Inter Miami in the CONCACAF Champions Cup to lose 3-1 on aggregate.
San Jose Earthquakes, meanwhile, will want to capitalize on their hosts' recent struggles to go on a winning run. They are coming off a 6-1 victory over DC United, which ended their three-game winless run. This result pushed them to the eighth position with 10 points from seven matches. Their attack has been on fire this season, scoring 15 goals already, the joint-highest tally with Orlando City in the league. They can definitely cause problems for LAFC.

Our Los Angeles FC vs San Jose Earthquakes Prediction
Following their disappointing exit from the CONCACAF Cup, LAFC will focus more on their league campaign, which could be helpful. Their strikers, led by Oliver Giroud, need to start firing to keep up with the pace in the conference.
The good news for them is that they'll enter this matchup with a better h2h record, winning three of their last four meetings. They also won three of their previous four home games against San Jose Earthquakes. However, San Jose Earthquakes are scoring goals, so we expect to go down fighting or even force a draw. Our prediction for LAFC vs San Jose Earthquakes: Over 2.5 goals.
