My Prediction
Columbus Crew by 1Ah, San Jose Earthquakes versus the Columbus Crew. Two teams that spark as much excitement as watching paint dry. But let's dig into the numbers, shall we?
The Quakes have a dynamic duo in goal with Daniel and Earl Edwards Jr., but don't count out Columbus Crew's Patrick Schulte, he's been known to swat a few balls himself.
Speaking of balls, let's take a peek at the firepower each team brings to the table. For the Quakes, Cristian Espinoza and Josef Martinez have combined for 6 goals and have been as accurate as a Swiss watch. Cristian Arango isn't to be ignored either.
On the Columbus side, Diego Rossi is the standout with 3 goals but let's tip our hats to players like Dylan Chambost and Maximilian Arfsten for their pass accuracy, even if their ability to find the net is about as reliable as a sundial at midnight.
The Crew hold a slightly better record this regular season but here's where it gets interesting: both teams have shown inconsistency in recent games. Quakes, it seems, have a goal fiesta every game - whether it's in their favor or not, that's a different story. Crew on the other hand, appear to enjoy playing cat and mouse with their fans' heart rates, pulling out last minute victories.
In lieu of these wildly riveting stats, I'd place my bet on the Columbus Crew. Why, you may ask? Who knows, it's soccer, anything can happen.
