The San Jose Earthquakes have yet to win since MLS resumed regular-season action. It's been even longer since the Colorado Rapids experienced victory.
Perhaps that will change for one of these sides when they meet in San Jose on Saturday night.
Both clubs sit below the playoff line in the Western Conference. San Jose (2-3-2) lost 3-2 to the Los Angeles Galaxy and 5-1 at Los Angeles FC since the MLS is Back Tournament.
While it seems defense is an immediate concern for the 'Quakes, the condensed schedule on this current state of the season is also playing havoc with the club's training schedule.
