Atlanta United vs San Jose Earthquakes Predictions

Atlanta United claimed all three points from their trip to Cincinnati via a 2-0 final scoreline on Thursday and, despite not having as much time to prepare or recuperate for this weekends’ clash, will be confident they can maintain their momentum against SJ Earthquakes. The visitors lost 2-1 away at New York City last time out and have really struggled on the road over the last couple of months.

All of the stats suggest that Atlanta United are in with a great chance of winning and keeping a clean sheet against SJ Earthquakes on Saturday.

Atlanta United have won each of the previous two meetings between these two clubs and while each of those games saw both teams score and produced over 5.5 goals we are expecting a more modest scoreline this weekend.

The form of both clubs over the last month or so point towards a win for the hosts on Saturday, as Atlanta United have won four of their last six matches while SJ Earthquakes have lost four of their last six. in the MLS. The hosts have also won four of their last five home games, while SJ Earthquakes have lost their last five away games, which adds more weight to our prediction of a home win on Saturday.

The performances of both teams, in defence and in attack, over the last few weeks provide the basis to our prediction of a clean sheet for the home side this weekend. Atlanta United have kept three clean sheets in their last six attempts and SJ Earthquakes have failed to score in two of their last three on the road, conceding four goals without replay during a recent away game against LAFC.

We’re confident that Atlanta United will win to nil on Saturday and have predicted a final scoreline of 3-0. Atlanta United are the clear form favourites against a SJ Earthquakes side that have been really poor on the road over the last month or so. The visitors let in four on a recent trip to LAFC and Atlanta United have the scoring power within them to net at least three times this weekend.
