San Jose Earthquakes host Auriense in the Copa del Rey. The recent numbers we have for the Earthquakes show a side that's had a mixed, often difficult few months.
That sample stretches across MLS, the US Open Cup and even a friendly, so it's not a clean run of league form. There's nothing at all on how Auriense have been playing, which leaves a fair bit unresolved before kickoff.

San Jose's patchy recent record
Looking at the Earthquakes' last 20 matches across competitions, the record reads five wins, six draws and nine defeats. They've scored 29 and conceded 40 in that spell, which points to a defence that's been opened up regularly.
San Jose Earthquakes: 20 completed matches; Auriense: 0 completed matches.

Some of those games came away from home and some in different competitions entirely, including a US Open Cup tie and a pre-season friendly. It's a broad snapshot of where the club currently stands rather than a tight league-only form line.
A goals-against tally like that suggests San Jose haven't been keeping things tight, whoever they've faced.
How this one could play out
With 29 goals for and 40 against over 20 games, San Jose have been involved in matches with goals at both ends. If that pattern holds, this doesn't look like a fixture built for a quiet, low-scoring night.
We just don't have anything on Auriense's own form or approach, so it's hard to say how that tendency for goals plays out against them specifically. The Earthquakes' defensive numbers are the clearest signal here, but they only tell half the story.

San Jose's recent games show a team that's shipped goals often and won only a handful of times in this sample. That's useful context, but it only covers one side of the match.
Without any read on Auriense, there's no sound basis for picking a winner or a scoreline angle here. We'll sit this one out until there's more to go on.
