LA Galaxy vs San Jose Earthquakes Prediction
LA is 7-1-2 in its last 10 meetings against San Jose and the over is 11-2 in their last 13 meetings. LA Galaxy has five wins and two draws in their last seven visits in San Jose and the over is 7-1 in their last 8 meetings in San Jose.
In this LA Galaxy vs San Jose Earthquakes Prediction, San Jose is coming as -145 home favorites. San Jose has been in bad recent form, having lost five of its last six overall games and has back-to-back home defeats, but the Galaxy have also lost their last two games, having conceded three goals in each game, so I see no value on either side. I like the over in this one, as both teams have been involved in some high-scoring games lately, going for 7-1 to the over in their last 8 games combined and most of their recent meetings have been high-scoring ones. Take the over 3 in this one.
