Matchup Nightmare: Beleaguered Whitecaps Trying to Steady Themselves for San Jose

On Wednesday night, the Vancouver Whitecaps will take on the San Jose Earthquakes at 7:30pm in Avaya Stadium. For the visitors, San Jose produces an opportunity to gain some momentum after back-to-back losses against Cascadia rivals. Meanwhile for San Jose (who sits 9th in the West), it’s an opportunity to draw closer and closer to a playoff spot, as they’ve vaulted themselves off the bottom of the standings with back-to-back wins over LAFC and LA Galaxy. San Jose has been a difficult team to peg down this season, and their unique man-marking style led by manager Matías Almeyda makes them a dangerous opponent for any team.
