Los Angeles Preview – Cherundolo’s troops to build on win in Ohio?
Los Angeles have made a fast start to their 2022 MLS campaign. Steve Cherundolo’s troops are sitting pretty at the summit of the Western Conference on 26 points. The Californian outfit, who finished 19th overall last term, have won eight, drawn two and lost three.
Los Angeles stopped a run of three games without victory with a much-needed 2-0 success at Columbus Crew in their last outing. Goals from Carlos Vela and Jose Cifuentes did the damage in that one. Prior to the triumph in Ohio, LA had taken just one point from a possible nine.
Los Angeles suffered their first home defeat of the season in their last match at the Banc of California Stadium, losing 2-1 to Austin. We fancy them to bounce back with three points here.
San Jose Earthquakes Preview – Can the Quakes upset the leaders?
San Jose Earthquakes make the short trip to Exposition Park unbeaten in four. Since a 3-0 loss at New York City right at the start of the month, San Jose have won two and drawn two. In fact, the loss to New York remains their only reverse in seven.
The Quakes have responded well from a terrible start under Matias Almeyda. They opened up their campaign with four losses and three draws from seven, but interim boss Alex Covelo has certainly steadied the ship since taking over in April.

San Jose won two of the three meetings in the 2021 season, picking up 2-1 and 2-0 home wins. However, when the Californian duo last locked horns, a Cristian Arango brace and a strike by Daniel Musovski gave LA a 3-1 home victory back in October.
Key Facts – Los Angeles vs San Jose Earthquakes Betting Tip

Take a punt on Los Angeles to win -1, which is nicely priced at 11/10. Also, put some money on Cherundolo’s troops to win to nil at 7/4.
