San Jose are at home on a five-match unbeaten run with a strong attack (Judd/Arango) and have dominated Portland recently at PayPal Park, while the Timbers arrive leakier defensively and missing both first-choice centre-backs. Portland's attacking output keeps this from being one-sided, so goals at both ends are likely.

MiniMax M3
San Jose (4th in West, 33 pts) hosts Portland (10th, 24 pts) riding a five-match unbeaten run and coming off strong wins over Houston and a 2-2 comeback draw vs LAFC, while Portland is missing both starting centerbacks (McGraw, Mosquera) and enters on 1W-1D-3L form, including a 3-1 loss to San Jose earlier this season. Portland can still score (33 goals) but defensive absences and recent slide tilt this clearly to the Quakes at PayPal Park.
Mistral Large 3
San Jose Earthquakes enter the match on a five-match unbeaten run and are at home, where they have been strong this season, while Portland Timbers are missing key defenders and have struggled slightly more on the road. However, Portland's attacking prowess and historical H2H advantage keep the away win probability competitive, with the draw a likely outcome given both teams' recent form and defensive vulnerabilities.
Kimi K3
San Jose (4th West, 33 pts, +11 GD) hosts a Portland side sitting 10th with a neutral goal difference and missing both starting center backs; the Quakes are on a five-match unbeaten run and beat Portland twice at PayPal Park in 2025 (4-1, 1-0). Portland still scores freely (33 in 18), so an away upset or draw remains live, but home form, momentum, and the defensive absences favor San Jose.

San Jose hosts Portland at PayPal Park where they've won both 2025 meetings, and Portland faces a severe defensive crisis missing both starting center-backs (Waterman suspended, McGraw injured) plus Mosquera.

Grok 4.5
San Jose sit 4th in the West with a superior record, goal difference and five-match unbeaten run while hosting a mid-table Portland side missing both starting centre-backs; home edge and attacking output (Judd among league leaders) make a narrow Quakes win the most probable 90-minute outcome.
MiMo v2.5-Pro
San Jose are 4th in the West on a 5-match unbeaten run and won the previous meeting 3-1, while Portland are missing both starting center backs (McGraw, Caicedo) plus three other players and sit in a precarious 9th-place playoff position after losing to last-place Atlanta. The Quakes' potent attack (2.0 goals/game) should exploit Portland's decimated defense at PayPal Park.
