Austin seek historic PayPal Park win against Quakes
San Jose Earthquakes look to arrest a dismal run of form to protect their European qualification spot against an Austin side chasing silverware in the U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinals.
San Jose Earthquakes sit 4th in the table with 34 points, but their form has cratered at the worst possible time. The Quakes have failed to win any of their last five matches, suffering heavy defeats including a 5-1 thrashing by Minnesota United and a 4-2 loss to FC Cincinnati. Despite this, Bruce Arena’s side remains the second-highest scorers in MLS with 41 goals, though they have become increasingly vulnerable at the back.
Austin FC enter this knockout clash with significant momentum, having won two of their last three matches on the road against Portland and Seattle. Under pressure to deliver the club's first major trophy, the Verde & Black have shown flashes of creative promise, most recently securing a 2-1 victory over the Timbers to steady their campaign after a difficult run.
