Football – USA – MLS Betting Tips
Montreal Impact will be keen to bounce back with a win against San Jose Earthquakes when they play host to the MLS strugglers at their Stade Saputo in Quebec, following a heavy 3-0 defeat away at New York City last time out.
Montreal Impact’s impressive four-match winning streak came to an end in the Big Apple, but previous wins over Orlando City (home and away), Sporting Kansas and Colorado Rapids should still give them plenty of confidence of getting all three points ahead of this clash.
It’s also been four on the trot for Montreal on home turf where they’ve posted a home record of 6-0-3 16/11 where they appear not to consider taking a draw, rather a win or lose attitude. Influential midfielder, Piatti (9 goals, 6 assists) leads the way for the home side, and is well supported by Taider (3 goals).
San Jose Earthquakes currently sit bottom of the Western Conference and come into this encounter having now gone nine league matches without a win, and things don’t get any easier with a trip to Montreal on Saturday evening.
The visitors have recorded just two wins all season to date in the MLS, while their away record reads a poor looking 1-3-6 14/18 with their one success on the road so far being a 3-1 win at 9th placed Minnesota United in the Western Conference.
An inability to keep a clean sheet on their travels has been San Jose’s downfall this season, and coming up against a Montreal Impact side smarting from their loss last time out along with the creative Piatti in their ranks, could spell further trouble for San Jose here.
