In a regular season MLS match, San Jose Earthquakes will host Los Angeles Galaxy. The game will take place on the night of Sunday, June 30, starting at 4:30 AM Central European Time. Dailysports analysts have prepared a forecast for this match.
San Jose Earthquakes
The worst team not only in the Western Conference but in the entire MLS at the moment. In 19 regular-season matches, San Jose has amassed only 11 points, which is four less than the team in 13th place. Overall, this season has been disappointing for teams from this city. San Jose Sharks, who play in the NHL, finished their season at the bottom of the entire league. Earthquakes could very well repeat this.
The main issue for this team is their defense. They have conceded 51 goals in 19 matches, which is not only the worst in the West but in the MLS overall. Despite this, San Jose has a fairly decent attack with 29 goals. If they could fix their defense, they could reasonably aim for the playoffs, though likely not this season.
The gap from the ninth place is 14 points, and closing such a gap with their current defense seems nearly impossible. San Jose's form is also poor, with one draw and four losses in their last five matches.
Los Angeles Galaxy
This California team is one of the leaders in the Western Conference standings. They have accumulated 37 points from 20 matches. Currently, the top three teams in the West all have the same number of points, making the race for the top spots highly intriguing. Focusing on Los Angeles Galaxy, their attack is particularly noteworthy.
The team has scored 38 goals, with only one team in the West having more. Additionally, they have conceded 27 goals, the fourth-best in the conference. Galaxy is in excellent form, currently on a three-match winning streak. In their last five matches, they have four wins and one loss.

San Jose Earthquakes vs Los Angeles Galaxy Prediction
San Jose Earthquakes are at the bottom of the entire league. Additionally, they have a poor record against Los Angeles Galaxy, having failed to win in six consecutive matches and conceding in ten straight encounters. Given these circumstances, I will bet on a Los Angeles victory at odds of 2.2.
