San Jose Earthquakes vs Houston Dynamo Prediction & Betting Tips (18 July)

This has to be one of the most one-sided rivalries in the MLS, with Houston Dynamo enjoying four consecutive victories over San Jose Earthquakes as part of a 17-match unbeaten run against their near-neighbours in the top-flight. Their coach charges hardly come into this contest in the greatest of shape either, having lost seven times in eight league games.

Each of the previous 19 San Jose Earthquakes home games has delivered a minimum of one successful strike, with the net bulging 46 times in total across these fixtures. Given that 19 of the most recent 21 Houston Dynamo away matches in the second tier of MLS have also served up two goal or more, it would come as a surprise were this contest to finish with less than two goals.

Over the course of their last 15 matches at the top table of the MLS, Houston Dynamo have been involved in no fewer than 14 contests in which they have both scored and conceded during the same 91 minutes. Given that seven of the previous nine top-flight fixtures involving San Jose Earthquakes have followed suit, more of the same is expected in this clash.
