San Jose Earthquakes vs Orlando City Predictions

SJ Earthquakes won their last match against Vancouver Whitecaps 3-1 in San Jose, while Orlando City were narrowly beaten last weekend 1-0 in their own backyard by the Eastern Conference leaders Atlanta United.

All of the stats, including the brief head to head record between these two clubs, suggest that Orlando City will pick up at least a point on Sunday and that we are likely to see both teams score in the process.

Orlando City haven’t lost any of their four previous matches against SJ Earthquakes, picking up a 3-2 win, two 1-1 draws, and a 2-2 draw. Both teams have scored in all of the previous four meetings between these two clubs, which is one of the reasons we’re expecting goals at both ends of the pitch this weekend as well.

The form and performances of both teams make a double chance bet on Orlando City worth backing, as well as both teams to score. SJ Earthquakes have only won one of their last five matches, while Orlando City have only lost two of their last six matches, both of which were at home. Both teams scored in five of SJ Earthquakes’ last six matches, as well as in all of Orlando City’s last five away games, four of which ended in draws.

Orlando City’s last three draws have all ended 1-1 and have all come away from home which is why we fancy Sunday’s match to end all square with both teams finding the back of the net. SJ Earthquakes haven’t kept any clean sheets in their last six attempts and Orlando City have only managed two during that period and both arrived in their own backyard.

We’re confident that a double chance bet on Orlando City will payout this weekend and have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. Both teams have been inconsistent of late but Orlando Head into the match as the form favourites, just. When these two sides have met in the past both teams have always scored and three of those four meetings ended in stalemates.
