San Jose Earthquakes vs Colorado Rapids Prediction & Betting Tips (14 April)

San Jose Earthquakes have not been in the best of form on their own patch recently, winning just two of their previous 14 top-flight matches, and the Seagulls have actually been beaten in four of their last six home games. Colorado Rapids, by way of contrast, have enjoyed eight wins in 13 the MLS fixtures of late, and they have splashed the cash on new players this summer.

Over the course of their last 19 matches at the top table of the MLS, Colorado Rapids have been involved in 16 encounters containing three goals or fewer, including a defeat at home to San Jose Earthquakes. San Jose Earthquakes, 18 of their most recent 21 top-flight home games have also delivered under 3.5 goals, so more of the same is expected.

When Colorado Rapids come calling in the MLS, excitement usually follows, with the team both scoring and conceding during the same 91 minutes in 16 of their previous 21 away games. Given that 13 of the most recent 16 San Jose Earthquakes home matches at this level have followed the same pattern, something similar is expected when the teams go head-to-head.
