Betting on the San Jose Earthquakes
They’ve gone two games without a win, and one of them was a crushing 3-0 defeat against Saint Louis. That loss really stung, especially after coming off two consecutive wins. It was a major blow to morale to lose so dramatically.
In their last game, they managed to salvage a 0-0 draw against Toronto, but it was clear they lacked confidence. They took 14 shots on goal, but 11 of those missed the mark. To make matters worse, they looked nervous on defense. They were so focused on not conceding goals and shoring up their defense that their attack became disorganized. It’s all because they’re still feeling the effects of that brutal defeat. They need to shake it off and regain their confidence if they hope to get back on track.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): James Marcinkowski; Carlos Akapo, Jonathan Menah, Rodrigues, Paul Marie; Cristian Espinoza, Jackson Yueill, Michael Baldisimo, Benjamin Kikanovic; Jeremy Ebobisse, Cade Cowell.
Betting on Houston Dynamo FC
Slowly but surely, they have picked up the pace. Two consecutive victories, both at home, were urgently needed, and they delivered with a 2-0 win against Austin and a hard-fought 1-0 victory against New York City.
The latter was a tough match as the Big Apple team dominated throughout the game and managed to score in the second half. However, the focus for the team was to defend the lead until the final whistle, and that’s exactly what they did. They are still striving for their best form, but their defense has been rock solid, as they have managed to keep a clean sheet for two games in a row.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Steve Clark; Daniel Steres, Ethan Bartlow, Teenage Hadebe, Tate Schmitt; Brooklyn Raines, Artur, Hector Herrera; Nelson Quiñones, Corey Baird, Amine Bassi.
JefeBet Prediction
San Jose remains unbeaten at home, while Houston has yet to secure a win on the road. Although the Dynamo has shown improvement, at JefeBet we predict they will struggle once again away from home. However, the home team will have their work cut out for them as they face a formidable defensive opponent. It won’t be an easy task, but we believe San Jose will ultimately come out on top in this San Jose Earthquakes vs Houston Dynamo matchup.
