The San Jose Earthquakes face the Austin FC on Saturday night. While the hosts try to stop a negative streak, the boys from Texas are after their third win in a row.
Before Betting on San Jose Earthquakes vs. Austin FC
The Quakes have three losses in a row, two in the MLS and the most recent in the US Open Cup, where they suffered elimination from this competition to the Sacramento Republic, 4-3, following an extra time.
Seven of the previous ten games San Jose played had three or more goals, while they managed to keep only one clean sheet, which shows that this unit has massive problems with its defense.
Austin lost just one meeting in the previous six, having four triumphs, a tie, and a loss. Unlike its rivals, this unit’s main edge is the back line, one of the best in the MLS over the previous several weeks.
Throughout the recently mentioned six appearances, Austin had four clean sheets, which is a big deal in MLS where teams usually emphasize offensive playstyle. Also, they were one of the clubs with extremely high matches last season.
San Jose Earthquakes vs. Austin FC Head to Head
The first meeting of the year was extremely fun to watch because it included seven goals. Austin was better at its Q2 Arena where they triumphed 4-3. Both teams have scored in the past five head to head meetings, and six in the previous seven saw four or more hits.

The fact that Austin has a solid defense won’t persuade us to bet on low efficiency. Simply, these two units have a tradition of high efficiency in their direct clashes and also have very good respective attacks, which is why we take over 2.5 goals.
