Match Preview

Ahead of our San Jose Earthquakes vs Sporting Kansas City betting tips and match prediction, Dominic Kinnear’s Earthquakes have only won one of their previous five MLS games. Kinnear will hope that his side’s 2-0 win over the San Francisco Deltas in the US Open Cup on Thursday can breathe some life into his flat players.

• Dallas 0-1 San Jose Earthquakes
• San Jose Earthquakes 2-4 LA Galaxy
• Portland Timbers 2-0 San Jose Earthquakes
• San Jose Earthquakes 2-0 San Francisco Deltas

Heading into our San Jose Earthquakes vs Sporting Kansas City predictions, the away side have managed to keep their rivals at arm’s length at the top of the Western Conference, though their return of one victory from eight away fixtures should be a real cause for concern for manager Peter Vermes.

• Colorado Rapids 1-0 Sporting Kansas City
• Sporting Kansas City 3-0 Minnesota United
• Sporting Kansas City 1-1 Montreal Impact
• Sporting Kansas City 4-0 Minnesota United

San Jose Earthquakes vs Sporting Kansas City Prediction and Betting Advice

One vital stat that plays a huge part in our San Jose Earthquakes vs Sporting Kansas City picks is the away team’s defensive figures. Sporting Kansas City have conceded just eleven times in sixteen games, giving them the best defensive record across both the Eastern and Western Conferences. Usually, a league-leading side would be favourites when playing a team quite a distance below them in the table, but “distance” is a very apt word when previewing this fixture. Kansas City is 27 hours from San Jose, and I think fatigue from travelling at such length will see Kansas City slip up at the Earthquakes.
