San Jose Earthquakes host Inter Miami at PayPal Park in midweek Major League Soccer action.
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.
"I think many of the goals we've conceded, which are 14 in the last five games, have to do with inattention and individual errors, rather than a collective approach to defending."
It didn't help matters that co-owner David Beckham hit out at Minnesota on social media after the victors took a shot at the team. Mascherano had the pressure of improving on Gerardo 'Tata' Martino's record-breaking season, but first he has to get the Herons out of their latest funk.
San Jose, on the other hand, have won their last three in all competitions as they look to continue rolling through May under Bruce Arena.
Here's everything you need to know ahead of Wednesday's match between San Jose and Miami.
