San Jose Earthquakes vs New York Red Bulls Prediction and Betting Tips

San Jose Earthquakes and New York Red Bulls go head-to-head at PayPal Park in MLS on Saturday. Bruce Arena’s side will head into the weekend looking to get one over the visitors, having failed to taste victory in their last seven meetings (6L, 1D) since a 2-0 loss in April 2016.

San Jose Earthquakes were lucky to come away with a point against LA Galaxy last Sunday as both sides played out a 1-1 draw at PayPal Park after the visitors squandered a plethora of clear-cut scoring chances.

With that result, Arena’s men are unbeaten in 11 of their last 12 games across all competitions, claiming six wins and five draws, having lost the previous three games preceding this run.

San Jose Earthquakes have picked up 27 points from their 20 matches so far to sit sixth in the Western Conference table but could move level with fourth-placed Portland Timbers with a win this weekend.

Meanwhile, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting came up clutch for New York Red Bulls as he netted in the 90th minute to hand them a 2-2 draw against Minnesota United last Sunday.

Prior to that, Sandro Schwarz’s men saw their four-game winning streak come to an end on June 15 courtesy of a 2-1 loss against Austin FC, 11 days before playing out a 1-1 draw with Toronto FC.

With 29 points from 20 matches, the Red Bulls are currently eighth in the Eastern Conference table, level on points with seventh-placed Inter Miami.
