The San Jose Earthquakes are currently in the thick of a playoff race sitting in 8th place and 5 points behind the 6th place Portland Timbers in the Western Conference standings.
San Jose is looking to maintain their pace and stay in the playoff race after Saturday but they face a tough task playing the 3rd place Colorado Rapids. Colorado has been one of the better teams in the west this season and they showed why after beating 1st place FC Dallas in their last match.
The Rapids are clearly the better team in Saturday’s matchup.
