San Jose Earthquakes vs Inter Miami Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | MLS 2025

California gears up to host the Florida outfit.

Next MLS 2025 fixtures take us to the PayPal Park Stadium in California, where the San Jose Earthquakes and Inter Miami lock horns against each other.

The heart of Silicon Valley, sitting atop the infamous San Andreas Fault, San Jose currently finds themselves positioned seventh in the MLS Western Conference standings. Despite a shaky start to their campaign, they have made a strong comeback, registering three consecutive victories recently.

In the 12 matches they have played, they have managed to win 5 and lost 6 games. A win in the next game could seem climb to the fifth spot ahead of LAFC and Seattle Sounders.

Inter Miami finds themselves in catastrophic times after suffering defeats in the four games they played out of their last five games. Their dip in form saw them going down from the top to the fourth position. They have so far managed to win 6 games out of 11 matches and would be keen for a comeback.

They are coming after defeats from Minnesota and FC Dallas. Their hopes of reaching the finals of the CONCACAF Champions Cup were dashed after suffering a humiliating defeat from Vancouver Whitecaps with an aggregate score of 5-1.

DeJuan Jones (San Jose)

The 27-year-old American defender from Michigan has plied his trade for teams like the New England Revolution and the Columbus Crew before joining the San Jose Earthquakes recently. He played an integral role in helping the Columbus Crew win the Leagues Cup 2024.

The former captain of the Spartans team would be keen to continue his excellent form and help the home side secure an important victory against Inter Miami.

Sergio Busquets (Inter Miami)

Widely regarded as one of the greatest defensive midfielders of his generation, the Spanish mastermind decided to en route to America to ply his trade in the Major League Soccer, following in the footsteps of his former captain, Lionel Messi.

Busquets has been a pillar of strength for Miami in the midfield, helping the team to initiate counterattacks and aid in transition play. With Miami going through difficult times, Busquets will be keen to help his side get out of this tragic run.
