San Jose Earthquakes and Seattle Sounders will clash on Saturday night at PayPal Park in a close MLS game. The hosts are the slight underdogs, looking to improve their Western Conference standings. They are 10th with six points after winning two of their five matches. They are riding on a three-game slide, losing 4-1 to a 10-man Charlotte side last weekend. Bruce Arena's men were outplayed in every aspect and needed a 77th-minute penalty to score the consolation goal.
Seattle Sounders aren't faring any better in the Western Conference. Brian Schmetzer's men are 12th in the conference table with five points, winning only one of their assignments this season. Seattle's most recent outing ended in a disappointing 0-0 draw against Houston Dynamo at home. This is now the second game they haven't found the net, and they'll be eager to end the goal drought this weekend. A win could significantly boost their confidence.

Our San Jose Earthquakes vs Seattle Sounders Prediction
This is a close matchup to call because both sides have faced their fair share of struggles this early in the season. San Jose Earthquakes lost three of their last four matches and four of their previous five assignments at home. Seattle Sounders, meanwhile, lost three of their previous four matches and did not win five of their last six assignments. This means the home advantage could be crucial this weekend. Overall, we expect both teams to go on an all-out attack right from the first whistle to stabilize their 2025 campaign. A 2-1 for San Jose Earthquakes could be in the offing. Our prediction for San Jose Earthquakes vs Seattle Sounders: Over 2.5 goals.
