Orlando City vs San Jose Earthquakes

, KO: 00:30 Jun 23, 2021, Exploria Stadium
San Jose Earthquakes

Orlando City are set to maintain their pursuit of Eastern Conference leaders New England Revolution as they host San Jose Earthquakes at Exploria Stadium. Home form has been the bedrock of Orlando's solid season and should see them make light work of an out of sorts San Jose.

Nani marked his return from suspension with a goal as Orlando City claimed a 3-2 victory over Toronto FC in their previous MLS fixture. The Portuguese winger added to Tesho Akindele’s early opener while Junior Urso scored the winner after Toronto had drawn level.

The Lions are having a fine campaign and have lost just once in eight MLS matches this season. They have won three of their last four fixtures and are up to second in the Eastern Conference, five points behind leaders New England Revolution having played a game less.

Manager Oscar Pareja puts a lot of stock on his team’s home form and Orlando are without defeat at Exploria Stadium this season. Driven by the impressive Nani, they are among the leading scorers in the East this term.

San Jos Earthquakes played out a 0-0 draw at Austin FC last time out in the MLS. They looked lively in an open encounter and created a numerous of chances but lacked the cutting edge in attack.

Despite failing to win, manager Matias Almeyda will be pleased with the result as it snapped a four-match losing streak. They are a long way away from the form that saw them rise to the top in the East and have dropped to eighth on the table.

Defending has been a problem for the Earthquakes this season with just one clean sheet in eight matches. They have also struggled in attack lately, scoring just once in their last five fixtures.
