San Jose v Seattle

San Jose Earthquakes v Seattle Sounders Preview

San Jose Earthquakes will head into this upcoming MLS clash with Seattle Sounders looking to break their current five-match winless run which includes defeats to Houston Dynamo and St Louis City, and the high-flying visitors are expected to provide further problems for San Jose here.

San Jose have managed to pick up useful points in draws with Portland Timbers, LA Galaxy and Los Angeles which have just about helped maintain San Jose's place in the top nine pack of the Western Conference, although the bigger picture shows that San Jose Earthquakes have captured just two wins in their previous 11 games overall.

The hosts have lost four of these 11 previous games as they've stumbled to losses against LA Galaxy, Los Angeles, Houston Dynamo and St Louis City and the five draws that they've been involved in haven't been enough to further cement their position as serious challengers for a play-off spot.

However, San Jose have been pretty solid on home soil at their PayPal Park, losing just once in their previous 12 games.

Seattle Sounders currently occupy second place in the Western Conference and just three points behind the Conference leaders, St Louis City, prior to this upcoming trip to PayPal Park thanks to recording back-to-back wins against Houston Dynamo and Vancouver Whitecaps, so the visitors will be in confident mood ahead of this encounter.

Recent results suggest this upcoming trip to San Jose may not be quite as clear cut as some people may think as Seattle Sounders have captured just three wins from their last 10 matches overall in the MLS which includes an earlier victory over New York RB but also includes four defeats as well.

Losses to Austin, Vancouver Whitecaps, San Jose Earthquakes (at home) and Los Angeles may call into question Seattle's ability to pick up all three points on the road in this upcoming tussle at PayPal Park but the high-flying visitors have been able to pick up four wins on their travels so far in this MLS season to date.

As well as four defeats on the road, Seattle Sounders have also managed to register important wins at Sporting Kansas, LA Galaxy, Houston Dynamo and Vancouver Whitecaps so the visitors are more than capable of taking the spoils here on Wednesday night.

San Jose Earthquakes v Seattle Sounders Verdict

San Jose Earthquakes have struggled for results in recent times and their downturn in momentum could cause them further trouble in this clash with a confident looking Seattle Sounders outfit especially as the visitors have won two out of the previous three meetings on the road at PayPal Park and they stand a good chance of claiming the maximum points here on Wednesday night too.

Therefore, our main bet will be Seattle Sounders win @ 2.62

Other side bets worth considering:

Under 2.5 goals @ 1.90

Correct score: Seattle Sounders 1-0 @ 9.50
