On Saturday, the San Jose Earthquakes will have an opportunity to accomplish something they haven’t achieved in nearly four years: win back-to-back matches on the road.
A league built on parity, it’s been surprisingly difficult historically for teams to earn points away from home. The Quakes, coming off a 3-1 win against the LA Galaxy at Dignity Health Sports Park, have their sights set on the full three points north of the border. A win would give San Jose a 3-1-1 record in their last five road games, their best five-match stretch on the road in a single season since 2012 (3-1-1 from 8/18/12 to 10/27/12).
