We said: San Jose Earthquakes 1-0 Sporting Kansas City

Solid team unity and some quality up front can take you a long way, and the Quakes look much improved in virtually every aspect of their game early on. Kansas City have put together some good performances at times but cannot seem to find solutions to their goalscoring woes, which is why we are tipping the Quakes to claim a narrow victory.
