San Jose Earthquakes are in poor form. They suffered a 2-4 home loss in the last round, resulting in a two-game losing streak. In the past eleven league matches, they've only managed two wins, which has significantly dampened the team's morale in the dressing room. The team is plagued by a long injury list. Forwards Werner, Costa, Edwards Jr., and Jones are all out due to injuries, and Chakiris has also joined the injured. This has severely depleted the team's rotation depth in the midfield and front - line. On the other hand, Los Angeles FC is on a three - game winning streak. Since Son Heung - min joined, he has scored eight goals in nine games. His partnership with Bouanga in the attack has been red - hot, and the whole team is brimming with confidence. However, the away team isn't without problems. Igor Jesus and Aaron Long have both ended their seasons due to knee and Achilles tendon injuries respectively. Delavalle and Ebobisse are also confirmed to be absent, which has put a cer

The Kansas City Wizards are currently in a tough spot in the season. Based on the current league rankings and overall records, they are at the bottom of the table, sitting 15th in the Western Conference with just 18 points and a win - rate of only 20.8%. In a total of 24 league games, the team has managed only 5 wins, 3 draws and 16 losses. Their goal difference is a staggering - 33, with 26 goals scored and 59 conceded. This shows that there are numerous holes in their defense. What's even more worrying is their performance away from home. In 12 away games, they've won just 2, drawn 0 and lost 10. They've scored 11 goals but let in 37, averaging more than 3 goals conceded per game. Such a poor away - defensive record means they'll struggle when facing any opponent with a decent attacking ability. Kansas City Sporting has been struggling recently. In their last six games, they've only managed one win, one draw and four losses, scoring eight goals while conceding 13. Their morale is low
