The San Jose Earthquakes will look to make it a perfect week and get a measure of revenge as they take on the Seattle Sounders, in a game scheduled for Sunday at Earthquakes Stadium.
The last time these teams met, the Sounders smashed the Earthquakes 7-1, the worst loss in San Jose’s history, during a run of terrible results for the club. But the Quakes turned out of the skid and have won four of their last five games, including Wednesday’s rousing 4-0 win over the LA Galaxy.
The Sounders remain quality but lost last weekend against a shorthanded LAFC side, so they aren’t invincible. But still, they are capable of hanging a lot of goals on an opponent, as we’ve experienced firsthand, so the Quakes will need to be on top of their game, particularly in defense, to have a chance at three more points.
This is another great litmus test for Matias Almeyda’s group. Will they get a result? Should be another big game.
Odds:
According to DraftKings Sportsbook, as of Saturday afternoon, San Jose are (+225) while Seattle are (+108). The odds of a draw are (+265), so the bookmaker puts the Sounders as slight favorites, which makes sense considering the last meeting between these teams in San Jose.
How to Watch:
Sunday’s match between the Quakes and Sounders will be televised locally on NBC Sports California, and in the rest of the United States on ESPN+. The broadcast is scheduled to start at 7:30 pm PT with kickoff to follow.
