San Jose Earthquakes will host Dallas at the Earthquakes Stadium on Wednesday in another round of the 2024 Major League Soccer campaign. The home side have endured a near-abysmal campaign and sit rock-bottom in the Western Conference with just 18 points from 31 matches.
They were beaten 3-0 by Montreal in their last match and could have no real complaints about the result after managing just one shot on target throughout the match. The visitors are set to finish the regular season with their lowest points tally in Major League Soccer history but will be looking to close things out on a positive note.
Dallas have hit a rough patch in the league of late and are at risk of missing out on the playoffs. They were beaten 3-1 by Orlando City in their last match, finding themselves three goals down before team captain Paul Arriola reduced the deficit from the spot late in the game.
The visitors sit 10th in the Western Conference with 37 points from 31 matches and must win on Wednesday to retain any hopes of securing a spot in the qualification playoffs.

San Jose are on a run of back-to-back defeats and are without a win in their last five games across all competitions. They have lost all but one of their last eight home league games and could see defeat here as well.
Dallas have lost two of their last three games and have won just two of their last eight games across all competitions. They have, however, been the better side in this fixture of late and should come out on top here.
