Latest news and statistics from SJ Earthquakes
The San Jose Earthquakes, currently ranked third in the MLS standings with 33 points from 18 games, are gearing up for the regular season stage of the 2026 MLS. Their recent form has been a mixed bag, with a string of inconsistent results that have left fans and pundits alike wondering what to expect from this talented team. In their last five games, the Earthquakes have shown flashes of brilliance, but also struggled to find consistency. A 4-2 loss to Cincinnati was followed by a hard-fought 1-1 draw against LA Galaxy, which was then sandwiched between a dismal 0-4 defeat at the hands of Orlando City. The team's Club Friendlies performance against Tijuana was also a concern, as they fell 1-2 to their Mexican opponents. On a more positive note, they did manage to secure a 1-3 victory over Portland Timbers in their previous match. As the Earthquakes prepare to face St. Louis City in the upcoming match, they will be looking to put their recent struggles behind them and get back to winning ways. With their current ranking and points tally, they are well-placed to make a strong push for the top of the table, but they will need to start delivering more consistent performances if they are to achieve their goals. In terms of team news, there have been no major injury concerns or suspensions reported for the Earthquakes ahead of their match against St. Louis City. However, it is worth noting that the team has been working on their set pieces and defensive solidity in recent training sessions, in an effort to address some of the issues that have plagued them in recent weeks. Overall, the San Jose Earthquakes are a team in transition, and it will be interesting to see how they respond to the challenges ahead. With their talented squad and experienced coaching staff, they have all the ingredients to make a deep run in the MLS this season. But for now, they will need to focus on taking things one game at a time and building momentum as they go.Latest news and statistics from St. Louis City
