San Jose Earthquakes vs Dallas prediction: Spoils to be shared

Key Stats

  • The Earthquakes have lost back-to-back matches.
  • The hosts are on a two-match winning H2H streak.
  • Dallas are on a four-match losing streak in the MLS.
  • The visitors have the fourth-best away record in the top-flight.

Correct score prediction: San Jose Earthquakes 1-1 FC Dallas

San Jose’s first-half meltdown against Minnesota United delivered a 4-1 upset away at the Allianz Field – marking a fourth successive competitive game without victory. Bruce Arena’s men are real contenders to secure a play-off position, but only a victory here will get them closer to their goal. Dallas visit the PayPal Park in poor form as well, now suffering four successive defeats and well adrift of the top half of the table. With both teams in winless form, we see them sharing spoils in a closely-fought encounter.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Quakes with the home advantage

  • HOME: 19/20 (1.95) – 50%
  • DRAW: 3/1 (4.00) – 25%
  • AWAY: 3/1 (4.00) – 25%

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

The Quakes are unbeaten in 14 of their last 16 encounters with Dallas in MLS, turning the odds in their favour this time around as well. Bookies back the hosts with odds of 19/20 (1.95) – suggesting a 50% win probability.

The visitors failed to find the back of the net for the first time in five games, as Los Angeles FC beat them 2-0 at home. Bookmakers back Dallas to take the loss here, with a 25% win probability assigned to them
