La Galaxy vs San Jose Earthquakes Picks and Predictions May 28th 2025

Galaxy Host Earthquakes Hoping to Ride Home-Field Advantage to First Win

Still winless in 2025, the LA Galaxy are desperate to turn their season around and will look to do so on Wednesday night when they welcome the San Jose Earthquakes to Dignity Health Sports Park.

The Galaxy (0-11-4, 4 points) are 15 matches into the MLS season and still searching for that elusive first win. Despite a spirited performance last weekend, they suffered a 2-1 defeat to San Diego FC. After scoring first in the 40th minute, they conceded twice — once a minute later and again deep in second-half stoppage time.

“I think the frustration hit again at the end,” said Galaxy coach Greg Vanney. “We’ve got to bounce back. We’ve got to back up our partners here… and try to come out on Wednesday fighting and defending our home turf.”

Galaxy Leaning on Resilience, Earthquakes Gaining Momentum

Although LA’s attacking effort hasn’t been entirely absent — they’ve scored 13 goals this season — defensive lapses have plagued them. With 35 goals conceded already, the backline is on pace to allow far more than last season’s total.

“The one thing, we still battle. We still fight,” midfielder Diego Fagundez said. “But at the same time… we want points. We want to win games. That’s what counts in this league.”

San Jose (5-6-4, 19 points), on the other hand, enters the match unbeaten in five straight, including an entertaining 3-3 draw with Houston Dynamo over the weekend. The Earthquakes stormed back from two goals down behind Preston Judd’s first two goals of the season.

This match marks the first in a four-game road trip for San Jose, who have won their last two away fixtures. Coach Bruce Arena expects a gritty contest, especially given LA’s desperation for a result.

“To go to L.A. against a team that hasn’t won a game in 15 games… That’ll be very challenging,” Arena noted. “We have to step up and get it right there.”
