Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for San Jose Earthquakes is 7.08, compared to 6.95 for San Diego. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. San Jose Earthquakes's highest-rated starter is Daniel (7.28), while San Diego's best-rated player is A. Dreyer (7.58).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of San Jose Earthquakes have contributed 4 goals and 4 assists this season, led by D. Munie (2G). San Diego's starters account for 10 goals and 8 assists, spearheaded by A. Dreyer (5G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

San Jose Earthquakes deploy 3 defenders rated 6.98 on average, against San Diego's 4-man backline averaging 6.94. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

San Jose Earthquakes field 4 midfielders averaging 7.07, versus San Diego's 3 rated 7.13. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

San Jose Earthquakes start 3 forward(s) averaging —, compared to 3 for San Diego averaging 7.02. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 82% for San Jose Earthquakes and 87% for San Diego. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

San Jose Earthquakes's starters have collected 7 yellow cards this season, compared to 13 for San Diego. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of San Jose Earthquakes's starting XI is 28.2 (youngest: B. Leroux (22), oldest: D. Romney (32)), while San Diego average 25.7 (youngest: L. Bombino (19), oldest: A. Godoy (35)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

San Jose Earthquakes's starters average 8 league appearances each, versus 10 for San Diego. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
