Seattle Sounders vs. San Jose Earthquakes - prediction, team news, lineups
Preview
The Seattle Sounders will host the San Jose Earthquakes at Lumen Field on Saturday in search of their first win of the 2023 MLS season. The Sounders are coming off a 1-1 draw with the Vancouver Whitecaps last weekend, while the Earthquakes lost 3-1 to FC Dallas.
The Sounders are the defending MLS champions, but they have not started the season well. They have just one point from two games and have yet to score a goal. The Earthquakes are also struggling, with one point from two games.
Team news
The Sounders will be without several key players for the match against the Earthquakes. Forward Jordan Morris is out with a knee injury, while defender Xavier Arreaga is suspended. The Earthquakes will also be without several key players, including forward Jeremy Ebobisse and defender Nathan.
