Head-to-head statistics Earthquakes - Los Angeles

San-Jose Earthquakes Team Overview
San Jose Earthquakes continue to perform inconsistently, as their results over the last five matches show. The club is struggling in attack - their average goals scored across the previous ten matches is exactly 1, and a more recent trend underlines the finishing problems: they scored fewer than 1.5 goals in six of their last seven league matches. The defensive line is also causing concern, with an average of 2.1 goals conceded over the same ten-match stretch, which makes a return to stability harder to achieve. With no clear motivation from their league position, San Jose Earthquakes are showing little sharpness in attack and show no sign of a sudden change in their style of play.

Los Angeles Team Overview
Los Angeles come into this match on the back of three draws, one win and one defeat from their last five games. Over a longer stretch, the team have not been particularly prolific - their average across their last ten matches stands at just 0.9 goals scored, while defensively they have been conceding at a rate of one goal per game. Away from home they have also struggled, with a recent trend showing no wins in nine of their last ten away matches. The absence of any clear competitive motivation means Los Angeles can play without much pressure, though the overall pattern points to a cautious approach with an emphasis on keeping things balanced between attack and defence.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
San Jose Earthquakes have been consistently low in attack: they have regularly scored no more than one goal per game over a long stretch, and the trend across their last seven league matches only confirms the dip in output. The absence of any clear motivation in terms of the standings means there is no extra pressure on them, so a sudden surge in goals from the hosts seems unlikely. Los Angeles's defence has also looked solid, conceding an average of one goal per game over their last ten matches. Taking into account the recent statistical trend and the balance between the sides, the pick is San Jose Earthquakes Team Total - Under 1.5.
