San José Earthquakes vs Vancouver Whitecaps Preview and Team News
San José Earthquakes Team News
San José’s season hasn’t reached the lows of last year, when they finished 21st in MLS, but there’s enough for the club’s fans to be concerned about. They currently sit 20th with seven victories, eight draws, and ten defeats, and their last win dates back to late June. Since then, it’s been a free fall for the Quakes, including their US Open Cup exit on penalties against Austin (2-4).
The team’s tactical set-up explains their poor performances: with an inconsistent yet heavy artillery in attack, the defence often suffers as a result. San José have conceded 44 and scored 47 goals in 25 encounters. A few bad days at the office up front can result in heavy scores at the back.
Tyler Wolff, Zac MacMath, Javain Brown, and Mathew Bell will be out due to injuries.
San José Earthquakes Predicted lineup vs Vancouver Whitecaps (5-4-1): Daniel; Ricketts, Rodrigues, Wilson, Floriani, Jones; Arango, Harkes, Leroux, Espinoza; Martínez.
Vancouver Whitecaps Team News
On August 6, the Vancouver Whitecaps announced a major signing, with Bayern legend and German international Thomas Müller joining the team. The Canadian club already signed Kenji Cabrera two weeks ago, though Müller’s signing is likely to attract more fans.
Vancouver sit fifth in MLS, undefeated in their last three matches. After a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Colorado, they beat Houston and Kansas City. Only San Diego managed to stop them in recent weeks with a 1-1 draw.
The Whitecaps may not have the best attacking line-up (which is why Müller is welcome), but they boast one of the best defensive records with only 26 goals conceded in 25 games. Only first-placed Philadelphia have conceded less with 24.
Vancouver Whitecaps lineup vs San José Earthquakes (4-2-3-1): Takaoka; Laborda, Utvik, Blackmon, Ocampo; Cubas, Berhalter; Nelson, Ngando, Sabbi; White.

San José Earthquakes vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction, Odds
- Pick: Vancouver Whitecaps to win
- Odds: +179 (Tonybet)
- Correct score prediction: San José Earthquakes 0-2 Vancouver Whitecaps
Much like in their previous meeting, Vancouver are likely to win again. While it’s too soon for Müller to be included in the squad, the Whitecaps can count on Berhalter to lead them. The midfielder has been behind the team’s transitions as an anchor, whose vertical ball carries often create chances.
The Canadian side also happen to have one of the best defensive records in the league and will be up against one of the worst. On top of that, their opponents haven’t won a match in a month, while Vancouver haven’t lost once in their last three encounters.
San José Earthquakes vs Vancouver Whitecaps Betting Tip
- Pick: San José will not score
- Odds: +480 (Tonybet)
Despite hosting the match, San José are likely to finish the game without scoring a single goal. The Whitecaps might truly be their kryptonite, as they’ve conceded few goals while boasting a strong midfield.
On the other hand, the Earthquakes lack box-to-box midfielders who can stabilize the situation between counter-attacks. Their full-backs are also another area which the Whitecaps can target, as San José usually focus on a compact central block, which often results in them neglecting wide areas.
