We said: San Jose Earthquakes 1-1 Seattle Sounders

San Jose have drawn their last two matches, and we can envisage them having to settle for a point once again, with Seattle unlikely to push too hard for a victory having won their last two games. Both sides will be hoping that avoiding defeat proves enough to maintain their positions in the table, as they desperately look to qualify for the end of season playoffs.
