San Jose Earthquakes
- San Jose Earthquakes are the top side in MLS 2026 with 29 points from 12 matches, while visitors FC Dallas have accumulated 19 points in their 12 games to date.
- San Jose Earthquakes have won four of their six MLS 2026 home matches (D1, L1).
- San Jose have scored 2.33 goals per-game at home in MLS 2026, conceding just 0.50 per-match.
FC Dallas
- FC Dallas have scored 1.75 and conceded 0.75 goals per-match on the road in MLS 2026.
- Dallas have been good value for the points in their first two games since Quill took charge in November 2024 and have the momentum to push this game to the max.
Head-to-Head
The previous meeting between these sides at this venue finished 2-2 in MLS 2025 and Dallas haven’t won on their previous two trips to San Jose .
Key Players
- Preston Judd is the main goal-getter for the home side with eight goals in 12 MLS 2026 appearances, and this team can strike with some pace.
- Eric Quill has developed a system that suits the talent he has at his disposal, using the wing-backs in his back-three system to overload the wide areas and deploying two strikers to stretch the defense, pressing in phases to try to force errors.
Prediction
We like San Jose to capitalize on home-field advantage and their excellent form to win this game, but both sides’ strength in attack should ensure that we get some goals, so the odds for Over 2.5 goals are rather skinny at 1.35 , but both teams to score at 1.42 looks very expensive for what should be a wide-open matchup.
