MATCH PREVIEW: Saturday’s match vs. Orlando approaching ‘must win’ territory
Saturday’s match is the San Jose Earthquakes’ last at home for nearly a month. It’s also the club’s last against a team currently below the playoff line until the season finale on Oct. 6. Put two and two together and you get a recipe that suggests three points are crucial.
Orlando City SC is by no means going to let those three points come easily. At 9-12-7 (34 pts.), Orlando finds themselves in ninth place in the Eastern Conference and just three points out of the coveted seventh and final playoff spot.
