Los Angeles FC vs San Jose Earthquakes Prediction & Betting Tips - Major League Soccer

Prediction published on 22/06/2024, 13:54  by Matthew Newman in Major League Soccer Predictions

Early on Sunday morning, LAFC will host the San Jose Earthquakes in an MLS Western Conference matchup. The home team only drew in Austin in midweek, ending an eight-game streak of picking up maximum points. They have been hot on their own patch, winning five straight and keeping four clean sheets in the process. In fact, they have not tasted defeat in a home game so far this season, an impressive streak to start the campaign. They are three points behind Salt Lake for the top spot in the West with a game in hand, they will have this down as an excellent opportunity to keep the pressure on the team at the top. Denis Bouanga has led the line for them so far this season with 12 goals, good for the third most in the league, tying him with Lionel Messi.

Things have been tough for the Earthquakes this season, no team in the league has picked up fewer points so far with 13 defeats in their first 18 games. They have picked up maximum points in just one game on the road this season, winning at the Colorado Rapids. One thing that they have been good for is entertainment, three times they have been beaten 4-3 on their travels this season along with a 4-2 defeat and their 3-2 win in Colorado. For the neutral, they are a fun team to watch, though they are not so much for their fans. Whether they are able to keep the goals flowing against LAFC, however, will only be answered on Sunday morning but this could be where the goals on the road dry up..
