San Jose Earthquakes vs New York Red Bulls Betting Tips & Predictions

San Jose Earthquakes disappointingly missed out on the MLS playoffs last season, but they have made improvements during the off season as they look to break back into the top six.

This seems to be paying dividends when they opened the season with back to back victories against Colorado Rapids and Portland Timbers, but a defeat at LA Galaxy slowed them down a bit. They went on to draw their following two matches against DC United and FC Dallas.

San Jose Earthquakes do look like a much improved team though, and they will be very pleased with points against MLS Cup champions Portland Timbers and Supporters Shield favourites FC Dallas.

New York Red Bulls are the current Supporters Shield champions, but this season everything has been going downhill. They have lost four of their opening five matches in the MLS, with their only success being a 4-3 win at home to Houston Dynamo.

It could be very difficult for the visitors to turn it around on Thursday. San Jose Earthquakes have won four and draw two of their last six home matches in the MLS, and they haven’t lost since September.

New York Red Bulls, on the other hand, have lost three away matches in the MLS in a row, failing to find the net in any of them. This makes odds of 6/5 for a San Jose Earthquakes Win look excellent value for money. I’m going for that alongside a 2-0 correct score prediction at 10/1.
