Wednesday night brings us action from the American MLS with our next preview featuring a clash between Real Salt Lake and San Jose Earthquakes as the betting tips continue at the Rio Tinto Stadium in Utah.
Real Salt Lake Prediction – Can Real Salt Lake return to winning ways at home?
After being handed a 1-0 loss away from home at Portland Timbers last time out in the MLS, Real Salt Lake will be keen to return to their home ground for this Wednesday night’s clash against San Jose Earthquakes as they possess a pretty reliable record in their own backyard this season.
Overall recent results have seen Real Salt Lake register 4 wins out of their last 6 matches with wins against New York City, Sporting Kansas, Seattle Sounders and Colorado Rapids which has helped Wednesday night’s hosts into a top seven position and a potential play-off spot.
Form and results at home though have been Real Salt Lake’s highlight so far in this season’s MLS as the hosts have racked up 10 wins from their 14 matches played at home to date with an overall record of 10-1-3 27/12 with only Western Conference leaders, Los Angeles (11), winning more home matches than tonight’s hosts.
With just 1 defeat out of their last 10 matches on home turf, Real Salt Lake look well placed to add to their points tally here, especially as the hosts have registered 8 wins out of these last 10 which gives them momentum heading into this encounter.
San Jose Earthquakes Prediction – Can San Jose improve on their travels?
Although they too head into this Wednesday night’s clash at the Rio Tinto Stadium having registered two wins on the trot in recent weeks with victories over Vancouver Whitecaps and Orlando City in 3-1 and 3-0 wins respectively, these San Jose victories were both recorded on home turf at their Avaya Stadium.
Before capturing these two wins, San Jose had suffered 3 defeats on the trot on their travels with losses incurred at Colorado Rapids 2-1, Sporting Kansas 2-1 and a heavy 4-0 loss at Los Angeles, while their overall record on the road is some way below the standard of that at home.
An away record of 3-3-7 17/26 includes just 2 wins out of their last 7 matches on their travels while they continue to concede on a regular basis away from home too as San Jose have managed to record just 1 clean sheet on the road throughout this season to date.
In addition, although San Jose have held the upper hand over Real Salt Lake in recent exchanges at home, the visitors have found it tough to beat them away from home in Utah as Real Salt Lake are unbeaten in the last 5 meetings on home soil.
Key-Facts – Real Salt Lake v San Jose
- Real Salt Lake have lost just 1 of their last 10 home matches in the MLS
- Real Salt Lake have won 8 of these last 10 home matches
- San Jose have won just 2 of their last 7 matches away from home in the MLS
Betting Tips Verdict
Real Salt Lake’s solid record at home should prove too much for San Jose but take the handicap on the hosts here.
