Austin FC vs San Jose Earthquakes tips and predictions

Upset not impossible for San Jose Earthquakes

On 19 MLS points, 13th placed Austin FC host 11th placed San Jose Earthquakes. The visitors will be looking to increase the gap. Will they be adding to their 27 points?

At the time of writing San Jose Earthquakes are a tempting price in the 1X2 and this preview is leaning towards them being something of a surprise package.

Austin FC are in some patchy form. They've lost 10 of their last 12 matches. Another thing is that goals are looking conspicuous by their absence. They've been goalless in 12 of their last 20 games. Considering any fitness concerns, this stat could be the difference between winning and losing. They have conceded two or more goals in all of their last 4 games which is a fact that will resonate with backers of the visiting team.

San Jose Earthquakes have showed what what they are capable of on their day. They've scored at least once in all of their last 7 away matches and to get anything from the game they'll have to contribute more goals to that number. They have conceded no more than once in all of their last 6 away matches. The away side will like their chances and if they secure the win it will be richly deserved.

The sportsbooks' prices indicate that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for Austin FC. However the odds-against for the No BTTS is actually the standout from that market.
