San Jose is unbeaten in five straight matches and has five wins, a loss and two ties since a 1-0 loss to Charlotte on March 15.

Inter Miami come into the game after a demoralizing loss to Minnesota United. The defeat was the Herons' fourth in their last five games in all competitions. Javier Mascherano didn't hold back in the build-up talking about the team's struggles.

San Jose’s Colombian forward Cristian Arango is tied with Vancouver’s Brian White for the league lead with eight goals. Former Inter Miami forward Josef Martinez of Venezuela, who joined the Earthquakes this year, has six goals. Argentine midfielder Cristian Espinoza has four goals and an MLS-best seven assists.
