Orlando City SC
Orlando lost again to Atlanta in their last match. This was a game that ended 1-0 and has put a lot of pressure on Orlando for dropping three points at home. They are now 9th in the Eastern Conference and sit at 34 points. They are a full three points behind the final playoff spot, so a win and help is what they need. They have 3 wins on the road, but 6 ties, so they tend to get some kind of result when away from home.
The Orlando attack had about 20 chances to score against Atlanta and continued to fail time after time. Playing in San Jose will not make it any easier, so the bottom line is they have to finish their goal scoring opportunities. They score just 1.14 goals per game when away from home, so finding a goal here may be tough given where they are playing. I do not see Orlando being very good on the attacking side and would be surprised if they score even one goal.

Orlando City’s defending is not the worst as they allow just 1.21 goals per game on the road. I think their defending will keep them in the match and I see them allowing only 1 or 2 goals at most to the Earthquakes.
San Jose Earthquakes
The Earthquakes were going through a rough stretch before beating up on Vancouver in their last match. They have just 1 win in their last 5 matches and have fallen to 6th place in the West. They have 41 points and are just 2 points behind second place, so the standings are still wide open. They play well at home, posting 9 wins out of 14 home matches.
The Earthquakes finally found some scoring ability as they posted 3 against the Whitecaps. They now average 2 goals per game in home games, but finding goals may be an issue against a tough Orlando defense. This is a game where 1 goal could be the difference and that is really all I see San Jose scoring.
The defending has been overall good for the Earthquakes this season. They have had a rough time recently, but at home they allow an average of 1.21 goals per game. This is a game that I think could see the Earthquakes pitch a shutout because of the quality of their opponent.
