LA Galaxy - San Jose Earthquakes

LA Galaxy welcome San Jose Earthquakes to Dignity Health Sports Park for a Major League Soccer matchday 20 fixture. The teams met just under a month ago, playing out a 1-1 draw in their last encounter on 26 July 2026.

LA Galaxy are expected to field a side including forwards Joseph Paintsil and Kyogo Furuhashi, with Erik Thommy absent through injury and Carlos Garces suspended. The home side has struggled for form recently, suffering a 1-0 defeat to Houston Dynamo FC on 16 August 2026 and failing to score in their last two matches. San Jose Earthquakes also come into this fixture following a loss, having been beaten 3-1 by St. Louis City on 16 August 2026. Their recent away form has been difficult, including a 4-2 defeat at FC Cincinnati on 2 August 2026.
