Minnesota United - San Jose Earthquakes
Minnesota United and San Jose Earthquakes meet on matchday 34
Kelvin Yeboah enters this matchday 34 encounter in formidable form, spearheading a Minnesota United attack that recently dismantled Los Angeles FC 3-1. The forward is expected to start alongside Mauricio Gonzalez and Tomas Chancalay, providing the cutting edge for a side that has rediscovered its rhythm at the right time. Minnesota United have navigated a testing schedule with resilience, including a hard-fought progression against Houston Dynamo FC in the playoffs. With the home crowd behind them at Allianz Field, they will look to maintain their momentum against a visiting side they dominated 5-1 as recently as 23 August 2026.
San Jose Earthquakes arrive at Allianz Field buoyed by a gritty 2-1 victory over Real Salt Lake. Preston Judd is expected to lead the line for the visitors, supported by the creative efforts of Niko Tsakiris and Ousseni Bouda. While San Jose have shown defensive tenacity in their recent two-legged ties, they will need to be at their sharpest to stifle a confident Minnesota frontline. This final regular-season fixture offers both teams a chance to solidify their standing, with the visitors hoping to replicate the attacking flair they displayed in their 4-2 cup win earlier this year.
