SAN JOSE, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy take on the San Jose Earthquakes in the first edition of the California Clasico in 2015 on Saturday at Stanford Stadium.
Ahead of Saturday's match, I offer my prediction and provide a preview with links and matchups to watch.
LINKS:
Alan Gordon was a villain to Galaxy fans during his time with the San Jose Earthquakes, but in an interview with LAGalaxy.com, he talks about his motivations in the California Clasico.
Joe Tutino and I preview Saturday's match in the latest edition of 90 in 90.
In the latest edition of LAGalaxy.com's By the Numbers, we look at LA's impressive three game run.
The California Clasico is one of the most heated rivalries in all Major League Soccer, and the latest Insider on Location video, I take a look at the rivalry.
*In the Drink O4 Match Preview, we look at Sebastian Lletget's return to Northern California.
MATCHUPS TO WATCH:
Robbie Keane vs. Victor Bernardez
A battle of two contentious competitors will highlight the California Clasico as Keane looks to expose the bulky Honduran defender.
Juninho vs. Matias Perez-Garcia
The Galaxy's Brazilian midfielder will have to keep an eye on the San Jose playmaker who has shined as of late. Look for Juninho and the Galaxy to press Perez-Garcia off his favored left foot.
Chris Wondolowski vs. Omar Gonzalez
Wondolowski leads San Jose with eight goals this season, and will represent a tough test for the in-form Gonzalez.
PREDICTION:
LA Galaxy 4 (Lletget, Keane, Zardes, Gonzalez) San Jose 2 (Wondolowski, Perez-Garcia)
