San Jose FC vs Municipal Turrialba tips and predictions

San Jose FC are hard to oppose

San Jose FC are currently in fifth place as they prepare to host ninth place Municipal Turrialba.

The short price for the home side isn't great value but their opponents are unlikely to have much joy.

Reviewing their respective results leading up to the match, the hosts have bagged 4 home wins from their last 5 games. With less success than expected the visitors have been defeated in 12 of their last 13 matches home and away. Everything points to a further defeat here.

The visitors' defence will be up against it from the start. Recently Municipal Turrialba have conceded an average of 2.9 goals in their last 17 assignments. There's another reason to think this will be a home win. Worringly, the visitors have only scored once in their last 8 games.

The head-to-head looks good for the hosts. San Jose FC have won 7 of the last 10 fixtures between the two teams. The head-to-head stats point to another home win.

The sportsbooks' prices indicate that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for San Jose FC. But with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that makes more sense for this particular encounter.
