Austin FC were defeated 2-0 by Los Angeles Galaxy last Saturday at the Dignity Health Sports Park, failing to arrest their dwindling form.
Since March's 2-0 win over Violette in the second leg of their CONCACAF Champions League Round of 16 exit, Austin has gone five games without a win, losing three and drawing two.
Wolff's men, on the other hand, return to the Q2 Stadium, where they are unbeaten in four games, with two draws and two wins since their 3-2 setback to St Louis City in the league opener on February 26.
Austin's slow start to the season could be linked to their struggles in attack, where they have scored just one goal in their last five outings, while already conceding 12 at the opposite end of the pitch this season.
San Jose Earthquakes, on the other hand, were knocked out of the US Open Cup in the third round by USL Championship club Monterey Bay FC on Wednesday.
San Jose Earthquakes will now return to Major League Soccer, where they were defeated 3-1 by Real Salt Lake at America First Field on Sunday, ending their three-match unbeaten streak.
Despite their poor results, San Jose Earthquakes are still fifth in the Western Conference standings, sitting equal on 14 points with fourth-placed Dallas and five points behind first-placed St Louis City.
