Correct score prediction: San Jose Earthquakes 1-1 FC Dallas
San Jose’s first-half meltdown against Minnesota United delivered a 4-1 upset away at the Allianz Field – marking a fourth successive competitive game without victory. Bruce Arena’s men are real contenders to secure a play-off position, but only a victory here will get them closer to their goal. Dallas visit the PayPal Park in poor form as well, now suffering four successive defeats and well adrift of the top half of the table. With both teams in winless form, we see them sharing spoils in a closely-fought encounter.

Player to watch: Cristian Arango
/https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.footballwhispers.com%2Fmain%2F2025%2F07%2Fimago1063255953.jpg)
Colombian forward Arango has been San Jose Earthquakes’ standout attacker with 10 goals and four assists. He has a goal and assist in both of the Quakes’ recent defeats. Expect him to unsettle the visiting backline and perhaps add to his 10-goal MLS tally.
