Guadalajara team news and form: Hard-to-beat Goats eager for Leagues Cup action
Since the start of the season, Chivas have lost only once – in the match against Club Tijuana on the 13th of July. However, coach Fernando Gago’s brilliance led the team to two back-to-back league victories, which is surely another thing working in favor of our Guadalajara vs San Jose Earthquakes predictions.

San Jose Earthquakes team news and form: Defense non-existent
The Quakes conceded over 60 goals so far in 2024. If they continue performing so poorly, we might just see them concede triple digits by the end of the season. And that’s not something the fans were hoping for at the start of the season.

Player to watch: Chicharito
Javier Hernandez is making a US return! He was playing for LA Galaxy for many years and he is no stranger to the intimidating venue that PayPal Park surely is. However, he has already scored goals there, so we trust he will help make our Guadalajara vs San Jose Earthquakes predictions a success.
Second player to watch: Cristian Espinoza
Espinoza is the second player we’d like to turn your attention to. He is the leading creator for San Jose Earthquakes in 2024, as he already provided teammates with 11 assists this season.
