Columbus Crew’s recent form has been inconsistent with a loss to Inter Miami CF preceded by three wins and a draw. San Jose Earthquakes have struggled, with three losses in their last five games, including a heavy defeat to Charlotte FC. Analyzing the previous games it is easy to spot that Columbus Crew had a very similar game against CF Montréal (2-1). Also, San Jose Earthquakes have already played against Charlotte FC (1-4).
The next game for Columbus Crew is at home against Charlotte FC, a team in good form, winning 4 of their last 5 games and they defeated San Jose Earthquakes with a 4-1 score. San Jose Earthquakes will face Portland Timbers at home, a team that has shown resilience with recent draws and a strong away win against Sporting Kansas City. Columbus Crew and Charlotte FC drew in 1-1 the last time they met at Lower.com Field, while San Jose Earthquakes lost 1-2 in their last home game against Portland Timbers.
Considering the historical head-to-head results, Columbus has had a slight edge over San Jose, although many matches have been close.

On April 26th, 2025, the Columbus Crew will face the San Jose Earthquakes at Lower.com Field. An AI model predicts a victory for the home side with a 55.2% win probability, compared to the Earthquakes' 18.6%. The Crew, boasting a team strength rating of 0.632, will rely on the creative midfield play of Darlington Nagbe and the finishing prowess of Cucho Hernandez to secure the win. Their recent form has been strong, with three wins in their last five matches. The Earthquakes, rated at 0.298, will need a stellar performance from their goalkeeper, JT Marcinkowski, to defy the odds. However, their recent results have been inconsistent, making an away win unlikely. The draw probability stands at 26.1%, suggesting a potentially tight affair. But the AI leans heavily towards a Columbus Crew triumph in this MLS encounter. The Crew will be hoping to avenge their recent defeat to Inter Miami.
