San Jose Earthquakes team news and form: No way out for Quakes

Coach Luchi Gonzalez’s side is at the bottom of the table in MLS. His players managed to scoop only 11 points. They better start racking up points soon if they want to advance to the next stage of Major League Soccer, as the display so far doesn’t make them favorites for the title at all.

Predicted lineup: Yarbrough (GK), Rodrigues, Wilson, Marie, Beason, Tsakiris, Yueill, Espinoza, Lopez, Pellegrino & Ebobisse

Player to watch: Luciano Acosta

Noonan’s number 10 wasn’t even substituted in the game against Nashville. Nothing was going well for the home team at TQL Stadium, but Acosta played the full 90 minutes. We are sure he will be a starter for his manager on the 16^th of June as well.

Acosta’s qualities are undeniable

Luciano Acosta scooped the Player of the Season Award in MLS in 2023, and we are sure he can defend his title as the best in the league. After all, we added him in the player-to-watch section of our San Jose Earthquakes vs Cincinnati prediction, as he has seven goals and nine assists this season.
