San Jose (2-5-2) are 10th in the West with eight points and will go seventh with a win depending on other results.

They’re unbeaten in three with one win and two ties after stalemates with FC Dallas and Seattle Sounders, and have won their last two home games.

This is the first meeting between the two teams and the only one this season.
