Saturday evening features this upcoming all-Western Conference clash between 3rd placed Minnesota United and 7th placed San Jose Earthquakes when the two sides face off at Allianz Field.
Minnesota United find themselves just two points below the Western Conference leaders San Diego FC but more importantly they possess an 11-point cushion over 8th placed Houston Dynamo heading into Saturday’s action in the MLS.
The hosts will be on the back of a 3-1 home win against Chicago Fire in the US Open Cup while the bigger picture shows Minnesota United have suffered just one loss in their last 11 games across all competitions whilst picking up six wins in the process.
An overall home record of 5-3-2 19/12 should stand Minnesota United in good stead here.
San Jose Earthquakes currently occupy 7th place in the Western Conference ladder where they hold a two-point cushion over their nearest rivals, Houston Dynamo and Austin respectively.
San Jose were also in action in the US Open Cup but the visitors fared worse than their upcoming opponents as Bruce Arena’s side suffered a 4-2 loss on aggregate against Austin but results overall in recent weeks have been fairly disappointing.
The visitors have managed to capture just two wins in their last eight games overall in all competitions which came in the form of victories over the likes of LA Galaxy and FC Dallas but also includes slipping to two defeats as well.
An away record of 4-2-4 14/14 suggests San Jose Earthquakes are prone to producing inconsistent performances especially on the road.
The Betting Verdict
Minnesota United have won each of the last three meetings on the trot against San Jose Earthquakes and the hosts look the more likely here as well.
The Pick :
Minnesota Utd 2-1 San Jose
