LA Galaxy<\/a> host San Jose Earthquakes<\/a> at Dignity Health Sports Park on Wednesday, August 19 (10:30 PM ET \/ 9:30 PM CT \/ 7:30 PM PT).<\/p>\n

There are no fresh fitness concerns for either side here, with both LA Galaxy and San Jose Earthquakes able to pick from a full group. Gabriel Fortes Chaves and Jo\u00e3o Klauss, level on 5 goals apiece, should lead the Galaxy’s attack, with Marco Reus, who has created 46 chances this season, and Joseph Paintsil offering support from deeper. San Jose will turn to Preston Judd<\/a>, whose 11 goals are the most of anyone in this preview, alongside Timo Werner and Ousseni Bouda, who are both on 5 goals.<\/p>\n

LA Galaxy sit 12th in the Western Conference<\/a> with 22 points from 19 games, still searching for home form to match their attacking talent. San Jose Earthquakes arrive third in the West and firmly in the playoff picture<\/a>, though a 1-1 draw between these two last time out shows there’s little to separate the sides on the night. Expect goals at both ends before the Galaxy’s greater firepower up top, with Fortes Chaves and Klauss both among the goals this season, edges it late on.<\/p>\n
