SJ Earthquakes will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 8 points behind Philadelphia Union.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Philadelphia Union have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 4600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
