San Jose Earthquakes team news and form: Quakes sinking hard

Player to watch: Albert Rusnak
Rusnak just recently scored a hattrick in one of Seattle Sounders’ games. Scoring three goals in a single game is no easy feat in MLS. Therefore, we believe giving Rusnak a shoutout in our professional Seattle Sounders vs San Jose Earthquakes predictions is the right call.
Second player to watch: Cristian Espinoza
If coach Schmetzer wants to secure the three points, he’d have to find a way to neutralize tremendous Espinoza. The Argentine attacking midfielder is the key creator for his team, as he is already enjoying double digits.
