Despite gathering 17 shots plus 8 attempts on target, Los Angels FC took a shameful 2-1 loss against LA Galaxy in midweek, with Ex-Barca midfielder Riqui Puig delivering the winning goal to bury this team.
The loss followed them to losing three matches, with a 3-2 loss against the White Vancouver Whitecaps and a 2-0 win from FC Dallas preceding their El Trafico failure on Tuesday.
However, the defending MLS champions are only three points from the Western Conference leaders St. Louis City FC, thanks to their outstanding start to the season, as they had a sole defeat in their opening 13 league matches, securing 7 wins and five draws.
No matter, LAFC has the best defensive record in the West and the second-best defensive record in the MLS, so they may be ending their losing streak today.
Possible Lineup: McCarthy, Duenas, Maldonado, Chiellini, Hollingshead, Acosta, Sanchez, Tillman, Opoku, Vela, Bouanga.

San Jos Earthquakes stole up on LA Galaxy twice to secure a draw last weekend, when Jack Skahan delivered an equalizer at halftime before Christian Espinoza clinched a point for his team in the 81st minute.
Due to this, the Earthquakes enter today’s game on a four-game winless run, recording two draws and two defeats since their last victory, with consecutive losses against Houston Dynamo and St Louis City preceding last weekend’s draw.
Note, that San Jose lost two of their last eight games, picking two wins and four draws, so they’ll need to avoid defeat today.
On that note, the Earthquakes have the second-worst away record in the Western Conference, recordings just one win, three draws, and six losses on the road this season.
They have also forfeited 19 goals across their 10 away league games this year, maintaining only two clean sheets in this journey, with the 4-1 whipping from Houston marking the beginning of their road struggles.
Possible Lineup: Daniel, Akapo, Jonathan, Rodrigues, Trauco, Yueill, Gruezo, Skahan, Tsakiris, Espinoza, Ebobisse.
MatchPlug Prediction
It is hard to picture LAFC suffering four consecutive losses, especially with the type of squad they have. Today’s match will be tight and locked as Los Angeles will want to end their losing streak. However, they have enough ammunition to dispatch San Jose.
Final Prediction: Los Angeles FC Moneyline.
