San Jose vs New York Red Bulls Predictions

Back goals in San Jose

Both teams to score has landed in San Jose Earthquakes’ last four games and that looks the best bet when they host New York Red Bulls on Sunday at Stanford Stadium. The hosts have scored in six consecutive MLS games and have netted three or more goals in seven of their 20 matches this season.

The visitors New York Red Bulls are just two points superior to San Jose Earthquakes in MLS. New York have recorded eight wins, five draws and seven losses so far, while San Jose have won seven, drawn six and lost seven.

San Jose Earthquakes are unbeaten in nine of their last ten matches in MLS and are tough opponents, but New York Red Bulls have recorded five victories in the last seven head-to-heads.

San Jose Earthquakes let a half-time lead slip to draw 1-1 with fellow strugglers LA Galaxy in their last MLS outing, keeping up their recent trend of matches with both teams scoring.

The last five MLS meetings between these sides have all finished with both sides scoring and that looks the best bet when they meet again.

San Jose Earthquakes may be able to edge out New York Red Bulls in a close game, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. Both teams have scored in four of New York’s last five matches and five of their seven defeats have come by the odd goal.
