California Clásico stakes high as San Jose chase continental spot
The 87th regular-season California Clásico sees a high-flying San Jose Earthquakes side looking to cement their continental qualification against a struggling LA Galaxy desperate to break a five-match winless streak.
San Jose Earthquakes enter this clash sitting 4th on 33 points, currently holding a continental place with 27 points still to play for. Despite a recent wobble including a 1-3 loss to St. Louis City and a heavy 0-4 defeat to Orlando, the Quakes remain one of the most prolific sides in the West, having netted 34 goals this term.
The LA Galaxy are in a period of stagnation, winless in their last five MLS fixtures (D2 L3). Following a 0-1 defeat to Houston Dynamo and a 0-3 derby loss to LAFC, the Galaxy are looking to rediscover the momentum they built before the World Cup break. Midfielder Troy Elgersma provides a rare bright spark, having recently netted his first career MLS goal.
