San Jose Earthquakes is set for a trip to Geodis Park for a clash with Nashville SC in their 15th round in the Major League Soccer Western Conference. Match day schedules for June 12, 03:00 EAT.
The early regular season schedule for Nashville was not an easy one, as they had to play their first eight matches away from home before the opening of GEODIS Park. The Boys in Gold have won their last three Major League Soccer affairs and are currently sixth in the Western Conference.
Nashville prepare for this fixture confident following 1-3 MLS victory to beat Colorado Rapids in their last game. In that match, Nashville had 35% possession, nine shots with six of them on target and goals scored by C.J. Sapong (8′) and Hany Mukhtar (14′, 17′). Colorado Rapids got 13 shots with five of them on target and a goal by Diego Rubio (78′).
San Jose Earthquakes on the other hand is one of the worst teams in the Western Conference and is placed second to last in the table. They have dropped a lot of points in the last few fixtures, and particularly on the road they have been a mess. The club is currently four points back of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference, so even though their season has not gone smoothly there is not that much ground to make up.
The Earthquakes will hope for better results following 3-2 MLS defeat to Los Angeles FC in their last outing. In that match, Earthquakes managed 55% possession, 11 shots with four of them on target and goals scored by Jeremy Ebobisse (16′, 31′). Los Angeles FC got 13 shots with nine of them on target and goals by Cristián Arango (8′), Ryan Hollingshead (13′) and Brian Rodríguez (47′).
