San Jose Earthquakes Preview

In his first year coaching in San Jose, the National Soccer Hall of Famer Bruce Arena has imprinted his mark on his players. After years of flirting near the basement of the standings, Arena has brought back credibility to this club with his 800-plus games of coaching experience. 

Benefiting from Bruce Arena’s tactic is the newcomer from this offseason, Cristian Arango. In his first season in San Jose, the 30-year-old striker has garnered nine goals in 13 outings. Arango suffered a muscle injury against Inter Miami on May 14, which could see him out of the lineup till mid-June. 

With the big blow to Arango’s injury, Josef Martinez is fully capable of filling the role as the team’s leading man up front. This is also a debut season for him in a Quakes kit, which has seen him find the back of the net on six occasions. The 2018 MLS Golden Boot winner has an impressive resume in MLS, amassing 136 goals since 2017 playing on three different teams before joining San Jose.

Houston Dynamo Preview

Ben Olsen’s men are coming off a Texas Derby victory last weekend, topping their instate rivals Dallas FC, winning 2-0. With the victory, the Dynamo have won in consecutive match days in MLS. 

Providing the offence for Houston on Saturday was the left back Griffin Dorsey. Voted as the Player of the Match, Dorsey had his fingerprints on both of Houston’s tally’s  as he registered a goal and an assist. The 26-year-old has entered his fifth campaign with the Dynamo, appearing in 138 matches across all competitions. 

Amine Bassi will be seeking to get on the scorers’ sheet as he has failed to replicate his debut season in MLS in 2023. The striker cataloged 12 league goals in his first season in the competition. Since then, in the previous 47 showings, he has only collected five goals, dating back to the start of last year. If the Dynamo want to leapfrog their counterpart this weekend, Bassi will need to contribute up front.

San Jose Earthquakes vs. Houston Dynamo - My Pick

• San Jose Earthquakes vs. Houston Dynamo pick: Over 2.5 goals (-143) at bet365

This matchup over the years has produced some thrilling encounters that have seen the set goal mark eclipsed more frequently than not. The initial 12 clashes between these two have resulted in three or more goals being tallied on nine occasions. Matches in 2025 at PayPal have been home to some barnburners, as six of their eight affairs in front of their fans have seen over two goals transpire. We feel this tilt has a strong probability of keeping the trend intact, with the keepers being breached on multiple junctures.
