SJ Earthquakes v Los Angeles FC : Major League Soccer match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sun 14th Sep, 01:30 BST, Avaya Stadium, San Jose

Steven Cherundolo guides his Los Angeles FC troops to the Avaya Stadium in the Major League Soccer on Sunday morning, with Bruce Arena's SJ Earthquakes their challengers. Our predictions are based on extensive statistical analysis of both teams, across 17 major markets. Data shown and the odds is designed to fit each market, and head to head (H2H) stats are included across them all.


Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

All things considered, our prediction for Sunday's fixture is over 2.5 goals, meaning that we expect San Jose and LAFC to score 3 goals or more combined during the regulation 90 minutes. 2 goals or less would mean it's a losing tip but, with statistics below suggesting there will be plenty of firepower on the pitch, we think it looks like a great bet.
