Two teams from different conferences with similar playing styles will clash today.
While they’ve both failed to score significant goals this campaign, the Earthquakes clearly have a better goal ratio and won more.
Toronto FC did not convince in road matches, but they defeated Inter Miami, a team with almost the same numbers as San Jose.
Experts expect this match to be a close one, which will end in a draw.
