Football – USA – MLS Betting Tips

We now head across the United States with Vancouver Whitecaps looking to get their season back on track this evening when they take on third from bottom club San Jose Earthquakes in an all-Western Conference clash.

Despite having gone three matches without a win in the MLS, Vancouver will nevertheless be keen to secure all three points tonight to keep tabs on the top two clubs FC Dallas and LA Galaxy, and could indeed take over at the top of the Conference if other results also go their way.

Vancouver’s overall home record stands at  4-1-4  13/12 and is a fairly accurate account of their performances on home turf this season where they’ve struggled for any sort of consistency. However, forwards Rivero and Manneh are expected to cause problems for the San Jose defence.

Visitors San Jose Earthquakes have seen their recent improvements in the MLS go out of the window as they’ve lost their last three matches on the trot, having been dealt defeats to Portland Timbers, Houston Dynamo and LA Galaxy, the latter being a heavy 5-2 defeat to Steven Gerrard’s new side.

San Jose’s cause has actually been done very few favours recently as they’ve been involved in a ridiculous and meaningless International Champions Cup which has so far resulted in defeats to America and Manchester United. These on the back of three straight MLS defeats mean that today’s visitors head into tonight’s clash with Vancouver having lost six matches on the trot in all competitions.

San Jose’s overall away record stands at  3-2-6  12/18 and along with, surprisingly, LA Galaxy, they’ve conceded the most away goals in the Western Conference so far this season.

Vancouver have had time to re-group and recover from last week while San Jose are in action again amidst a busy fixture schedule which could see them come undone again here. I’ll back Vancouver to bounce back with perhaps a 2-1 win.

Pick: Vancouver Whitecaps straight win @ 1.73 Coral
