Houston Dynamo vs San Jose Earthquakes tips and predictions

Houston Dynamo looking to extend run

With just 4 points between them it's seventh placed Houston Dynamo versus 12th placed San Jose Earthquakes for this eagerly anticipated clash.

Don't get carried away about this odds-on price but Houston Dynamo can ease past San Jose Earthquakes.

Once this starts Houston Dynamo will pressure San Jose Earthquakes. Adversity has gradually been stacking up for this away squad over their last 5 fixtures. They've been beaten 4 times during these 5 starts. They've seemingly lost this one too.

One of the keys to a home victory is likely to be how the visitors' defenders run out on the day. San Jose Earthquakes have conceded two or more goals in all of their last 5 assignments. And when creating chances the visitors have looked nervous to pull the trigger. They've scored one or less goals in all of their last 17 away matches.

Houston Dynamo have won 9 of the last 14 fixtures between these sides. They might not be important but the head-to-head stats favour another home win.

Houston Dynamo are justifiable favourites and it's possible they just don't give anything away. It isn't a strong view and it's not the most exciting of forecasts in today's fixture list but the No BTTS bet could be sensible.
