The numbers point to a 'Caps attack that will look to launch from long distance, if they are to notch their first win in Northern California.
0 The 'Caps are winless in seven visits to San Jose with a 0W-2L-5D record.
67.65% Goalkeeper David Bingham is third in MLS in save percentage from inside the box with 67.65%.
50 To solve the steady Bingham, the 'Caps may need to catch him off-guard from long range. They are third in shots on target from outside the box with 50.
49.18% The 'Caps can rest on the fact that they're able to find the target on offence with a 49.18% shooting accuracy, good for third in MLS. On the other end, San Jose have the second-lowest rate at 40.69%.
10 The danger man continues to be Chris Wondolowski. The Quakes striker has burned the 'Caps 10 times all-time, the most by a player against one opponent since Vancouver joined MLS in 2011.
22 Another player to mark is midfielder Shea Salinas, who leads the Quakes in assists with five. The former WFC player leads MLS with 22 appearances off the bench.
It promises to be an all-out attack in a battle between two sides that are out to prove something.
Tune in to TSN2 at 2 p.m. to find out who comes out on top.
