This will be the second meeting between Nashville SC and San Jose, with the sides drawing, 2-2, in San Jose on April 16. Jeremy Ebobisse and Hany Mukhtar each scored twice in the game, with each Ebobisse goal canceling out a go-ahead strike by Mukhtar.
Nashville SC is unbeaten in 23 straight home matches (incl. playoffs), the longest active streak in MLS. There have been only five longer home unbeaten runs in league history, with Nashville able to match the most recent one, a 24-game streak by Sporting Kansas City in 2016-17, with a result in this match.
The Earthquakes have lost eight of their last 10 away matches (W1 D1) dating back to last October. The ‘Quakes have conceded at least three goals in seven of those games, including the last four straight.
Hany Mukhtar (4), and C.J. Sapong (2) have combined to score Nashville’s last six MLS goals. At least one of the two has been involved in 14 of Nashville’s 18 goals this season.
Jeremy Ebobisse scored both of San Jose’s goals in its 3–2 loss to LAFC in their last match, his fourth multi-goal game already this season. Only Chris Wondolowski (6 in 2012) has had more multi-goal games in a single season for the ‘Quakes.
