Match Preview

There is little to separate Real Salt Lake and San Jose Earthquakes in the current standings, and the victors this Saturday could give themselves an excellent chance of securing a playoff spot. Real Salt Lake come into this round after winning three of their last four matches, but they were narrowly beaten in their previous encounter by FC Cincinnati.

Still, they have been an impressive team in home matches this season after netting an average of 1.17 goals per game. Defensively, they have been sound throughout the 2025 season, especially in home matches where they have kept clean sheets in 45% of their fixtures.

The increased pressure this weekend is likely to be on the San Jose Earthquakes, as they have failed to win in their last six across all competitions. They have also lost two of their last three, which includes a recent loss against the Seattle Sounders last weekend. The Earthquakes have also allowed an eye-watering nine goals across their last three in the MLS.

Still, San Jose have performed better in away matches this season, winning 33% of their fixtures compared to the 25% of home matches that they have won. The Earthquakes have been a fine attacking team throughout the MLS campaign, as they have failed to score in just 8% of their matches.
