The hosts have struggled in the league this season and are second from the bottom in the standings with just 24 points. There's a stark contrast in the form of the two teams. While LAFC are on a seven-game winning streak in the league, San Jose are winless in their last seven games across competitions. Major League Soccer@MLS.@LAFC have been a dominant force on the pitch this season, sitting atop the Western Conference for weeks.
