San Jose Earthquakes welcome Los Angeles Galaxy to Avaya Stadium in the latest instalment of Major League Soccer's California Clasico on Saturday night, with both sides looking for their first win of the season.
LA Galaxy almost secured victory over Lionel Messi and Inter Miami last time out, but despite dominating the chunk of the game, they could not put enough distance between themselves and were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw. The visitors will hope their strong performance could serve as a springboard for their confidence this season.
San Jose, on the other hand, were left scratching their heads in last Saturday’s league opener as they fell to a 2-1 loss against FC Dallas after conceding the winning goal deep in the stoppage time.
