With 75 goals conceded this season, San Jose Earthquakes have the worst defense in the league. It will be interesting to see if the Quakes will be able to deny Los Angeles of goals, but we doubt that will be the case at BMO Stadium.
Predicted lineup: Daniel (GK), Rodrigues, Akapo, Beason, Verhoeven, Yueill, Tsakiris, Espinoza, Lopez, Marie & Ebobisse
