D.C. United Vs. San Jose Eathquakes: Black-And-Red Go For Three Wins In A Row

D.C. United travels to the west coast on Wednesday night to face the MLS Western Conference co-leader San Jose Earthquakes. The black-and-red are riding a two-game winning streak as part of a seven-game unbeaten streak that has put them into second place in the Eastern Conference, six points behind Sporting Kansas City. The Earthquakes have a six-game unbeaten streak that has them tied for the Western Conference lead with Real Salt Lake

This is the lone time the two teams will meet in the MLS regular season this year, after splitting two games the year before. The Earthquakes won 4-2 on June 11 last year, while the United won 2-0 on July 30.

With central back Emiliano Dudar out with a hamstring injury, head coach Ben Olsen will have to shuffle his defensive lineup around to try and contend against an aggressive San Jose attack. 12 different Earthquake players have tallied either a goal or an assist. Chris Wondolowski has been particularly hot, scoring eight goals in as many matches.

The game is scheduled to begin at 10:30 p.m. at Buck Shaw Stadium in San Jose, Ca. Television coverage will be provided by Comcast Sports Network Plus with Dave Johnson and John Harkes providing the commentary.
