Get ready for an exciting MLS showdown as FC Dallas host the San Jose Earthquakes on Thursday, June 26, 2025, at Toyota Stadium. This Western Conference clash kicks off at 02:30 CEST in Italy, Germany, France and Spain, and at 01:30 BST in the UK.
Both sides are separated by just two points in the table, making every moment on the pitch crucial. With the regular season heading into its final third, this fixture could prove pivotal for playoff qualification hopes on either side.
How are both teams coming into this?
FC Dallas have shown flashes of strong attacking play at home but have struggled to find consistency in their defensive structure this season. They currently sit just above the playoff line and will be desperate to turn Toyota Stadium into a fortress once again.
San Jose Earthquakes, under Bruce Arena, know the importance of every remaining match. The coach has emphasized that all 16 regular-season games are must-win affairs if the Quakes are to secure a postseason berth, and his side will be determined to continue their recent run of gritty performances on the road.
Our forecast
This matchup promises to be a tightly contested affair. FC Dallas will look to dominate possession and press high, while San Jose will rely on quick transitions and organized defending to frustrate the hosts.
Considering both teams’ current form and the slim margin in the standings, our forecast leans towards a low-scoring draw, though a late winner for either side wouldn’t be out of the question given the stakes involved.
