Player to watch: Petar Musa
Considering the Quakes’ laughable defense, we have high confidence that our key San Jose Earthquakes vs Dallas prediction will succeed and Musa will be able to score yet another MLS goal. Since the start of the season, the former Benfica star has scored a total of 15 goals and he is undoubtedly eager to partake in the Top Goalscorer Award chase.
Second player to watch: Jesus Ferreira
Ferreira isn’t scoring as often as Musa, but he is still a valuable performer for his manager, with five goals in 2024.
