Pure Grit
The Earthquakes are 5-2-3 in their last 10 matches, their best 10-match stretch in a single season since Aug. 14 - Oct. 3, 2015 (5-2-3). San Jose has lost just one of their last eight matches (4-1-3) which includes five road matches.
Home Fortress
The Earthquakes are unbeaten in their last three matches (2-0-1) and are on a four-match winning streak at home. San Jose seek a home winning streak of at least five games for the first time since 2013 (6/29/2013 – 9/8/2013). It would be only the second such stretch since 2005 and the fifth time in club history.
Career Best
Forward Chris Wondolowski has scored seven goals in his last three matches, tied for second most over a three-match span in league history. It marked his career high over a three-match span.
Can’t Be Stopped
Forward Chris Wondolowski’s goal against D.C. United extends his league scoring record to 151 goals. Wondolowski’s MLS record for goals in road matches improves to 70 goals.
Consistency Is Key
Wondolowski has scored in three or more consecutive matches for the ninth time in his career and first time since April 2016.
Feeding the Beast
Defender Nick Lima’s assist to Wondolowski was his first of the season and fourth of his MLS career.
Welcome Back
Earthquakes midfielder Cristian Espinoza and defender Tommy Thompson are available to play after serving one-match suspensions in D.C.
It’s Not Goodbye, It’s See You Later
The Earthquakes could be missing defenders Guram Kashia, Harold Cummings and Nick Lima, and midfielder Anibal Godoy against FC Dallas this Saturday due to international duty.
Round Two
Saturday’s fixture will be San Jose’s second matchup against FC Dallas in 2019, after a scoreless draw on April 27. The Earthquakes are unbeaten in their last five matches (3-0-2) against the Texas side.
Major Milestone
The Earthquakes are two goals away from recording 100 goals tallied against FC Dallas. It could be the first time the Quakes score 100+ goals against a single MLS club if they accomplish this feat in Saturday’s matchup.
