Real Salt Lake v San Jose Earthquakes prediction

Real Salt Lake11th in Western · 32 ptsLLLLW

San Jose Earthquakes4th in Western · 45 ptsWWDDW

What to expect

We expect about 1.6 goals from Real Salt Lake and 1.5 from San Jose Earthquakes, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 3.2 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.

Our pick: San Jose Earthquakes to score. This is about San Jose Earthquakes's goals alone, not the game's total. We make them around 1.5 on the day, and the bet needs them to find the net, which we make about 74%.

We put the chance of that landing at about 74 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.31, which works out at about 76 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.
