Bouncing Back
The Earthquakes have not lost two consecutive games since last July. San Jose will look to continue that streak at home Wednesday after Saturday's defeat in Seattle.
Unbreakable Bingham
San Jose goalkeeper David Bingham has been lights out at home so far this season, recording a 4-0-1 record with three shutouts. He has only allowed two goals in those five matches, while stopping 18 shots from his opponents. Bingham and the Quakes have not lost at Avaya Stadium since September 5, 2015 against Philadelphia.
Sarkodie Squares Off Against Former Club

Godoy Back in Action
Earthquakes midfielder Anibal Godoy is likely to return to the starting XI Wednesday after missing the Sounders match due to suspension. Godoy has been a fixture in San Jose's midfield this season, starting six of their nine games and tallying an assist in 509 minutes of action.
