Sporting KC vs San Jose Earthquakes When: Wednesday, July 21, 2021, 7:30pm CST (kick-off 7:38) Venue: Mercy Park Children’s How to Watch/Broadcast: Bally Sports KC (regional) | Bali Sports Midwest Plus (Regional) | ESPN + (Off-market or via VPN locally) How to listen: Sports Radio 810 WHB | La Grande 1340 AM (Spanish)

The international break is drawing to a close for Sporting Kansas City and they will return to action Wednesday night against Western Conference foes, the San Jose Earthquakes. Earthquakes is already back in action and will enter Wednesday’s game on a short rest after traveling to Denver over the weekend.

The main story with SKC back in action is player availability. Alan Pulido and Gianluca Bosio are both absent from international duty and it appears Bosio will never play for Sporting Blue again as transfer rumors intensify. Felipe Hernandez left for personal reasons. As well as other players and coach Peter Vermis are on MLS Health and Safety Protocols (aka COVID Testing). This is in addition to a lengthy injury report (see below) with four names on it.

San Jose last model

The Earthquakes enter Wednesday without a win in their last nine games! The promising start to the season is gone because they haven’t picked up a win since May 7 against Real Salt Lake.

San Jose tied the knot with the middle division teams of the West. A team like Sporting should win, but all the absences make it even more questionable.

What has changed for San Jose since these clubs met earlier in the year?

He played Sporting and San Jose in May and since then there have been some small moves. For all the moves from the 2020-21 season, we’ve got this here.

AL: The biggest signing is defender Nathan from FC Zurich in Switzerland. The centre-back joined the three-year target allocation funds deal at the beginning of June. He has already started twice and has achieved a full 90 in every match. The team also added midfielder George Asomani who they drafted into MLS SuperDraft but only recently signed a contract.

Out: Just one change here as Eric Calvillo is out on loan to the Orange County SC team from the USL Championship. He wouldn’t have appeared with the first team so it wouldn’t hurt too much.

Eleventh predictions start

This has its own story, as always.

Result predictions

Looking at the standings, it’s very clear that Sporting Kansas City should win this game. They are in better condition. They are the best team. They are at home.

But…and there’s always a BUT, they’re super smitten right now. Between injuries, COVID protocols and international absences, they are painful. However, this is not an excuse. They are three points off the top spot with a game in hand over the Seattle Sounders. They need to win as the weekend approaches.

I reserve the right to revise this prediction if one of the COVID protocol players is someone like Salway, Russell, Eli or Espinosa. Other than that, I think there is adequate depth going forward. Perhaps adding Zusi to that list, if Lindsey can’t go, Kayden Pierre will make the leap.

Sporting KC 7-1-3 against the Quakes with the only loss on the road in this weird 2019 season. They can’t afford to drop points at home. I’ll add the caveat that they struggle sometimes after losing their rhythm from a long rest, so they’ll have to find a way around that too on Wednesday.

(Side note: I was predicting a tie or a loss when I thought SKC could win from some weird and superstitious beliefs. But I’m not a superstitious. I know what I write doesn’t affect them. Go win!)

2-1 Sporting KC win What do you think? Expectations in the comments are welcome, let’s talk about it.
