SJ Earthquakes Real Salt Lake betting prediction

The home team comes to this stage of the MLS (Regular Season) after a away loss by (2‑1) against Portland Timbers. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses in away matches; against 7 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses at their stadium. For the league, Earthquakes won 16 points out of 30 possible points, after 4 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses in the last 10 home matches. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑1 (4 out of 10 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 8 of the last 10 for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 21 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 13 times and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 10 home matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 7 of their 20 goals between minutes (61'‑75').

The San Jose Earthquakes continue to have one of the worst seasons in Major League Soccer. To say they need to improve ends up being repetitive, but necessary. Their defensive system leaves a lot to be desired, so they need to pay more attention to this aspect. As they will be playing at home, they will have to impose themselves if they want to win, but it should not be easy. Therefore, from defence to attack everything will have to work to get the three points.

Confirmed Lineup: James Marcinkowski, Nathan, T. Beason, Marcos López, Tommy Thompson, Cristian Espinoza, Jackson Yueill, Jamiro Monteiro, Eric Remedi, B. Kikanovic, Jeremy Ebobisse.
Coach: O. Zarif.
