San Jose Earthquakes<\/a> host St. Louis City SC<\/a> at PayPal Park on Saturday, August 15 (10:30 PM ET \/ 9:30 PM CT \/ 7:30 PM PT).<\/p>\n

There are no fresh fitness concerns to report for either side ahead of this one, so expect both to lean on their most trusted names. San Jose will look to Preston Judd<\/a>, who has banked 11 goals in a team-high 1,370 minutes, with Timo Werner and Ousseni Bouda also pushing into the front line after 5 goals apiece this season. St. Louis City will hand their rhythm to Marcel Hartel, who has created 44 chances so far, with Simon Becher’s 45 shots showing he won’t shy away from pulling the trigger.<\/p>\n

San Jose have been streaky rather than settled, but their third-place standing in the West suggests real quality when it clicks, and Judd’s touch in front of goal gives them the edge at PayPal Park. St. Louis City arrive full of confidence after a run of results that has them seventh in the West, and Hartel’s link-up play means chances at both ends look likely. Expect goals in both halves before the Quakes’ extra firepower proves decisive.<\/p>\n
