On the Road Again
The Quakes are back on the road for their first away matchup since defeating Vancouver Whitecaps FC at BC Place on Friday, Aug. 12. They are searching for their first two-game road win streak since defeating Sporting Kansas City and D.C. United in back-to-back matches last August.
Eastern Conference Opponents
The Quakes are 3-1-4 when playing teams from the East in 2016, and 0-1-2 when playing Eastern Conference opponents on the road. The Quakes head to Columbus looking for their first road win against an Eastern Conference side since Aug. 22, 2015 when they defeated D.C. United 2-0 at RFK Stadium.
Keeping the Streak Alive
San Jose is currently riding an 8-game unbeaten streak (2-0-6) against Columbus Crew SC with their last loss to the club coming on Aug. 8, 2009 at Candlestick Park.
Facing A Familiar Face
Saturday marks the first time Columbus Crew SC forward Adam Jahn will face his former team. Jahn was traded by the Earthquakes to Columbus on July 30, ending an almost four year stint where he scored six goals over 62 appearances for the team. Jahn scored his first goal for Columbus in their recent loss to the Philadelphia Union.
Saturday Night Fever
After starting the season 0-3-3 on Saturdays, the Quakes are unbeaten in their last four matches (1-0-3) on the night, and have held their opponents to just three goals over that span.
