Expert Betting Tips
Despite the high average MLS results, we believe the upcoming encounter won't be rich in goals. Nashville is a total under team, averaging just two goals per game. In the Western Conference, only Minnesota has a lower average. San Jose is a total over team, but as long as the Earthquakes are struggling with their playoff performance, they need to do something about it, primarily on defence. The bookmakers give 1.775 for the total under (2.5).
San Jose is still without a home win, but already has two home draws. And also the future home team definitely doesn't want to lose on Saturday and to be stuck at the bottom of the conference standings. It is important for Nashville to score at least one point and save a place in the top seven. Our second betting option is a draw for 3.38.
As for the correct score, we think the teams will still exchange goals. We suggest betting on a correct score 1:1 for 6.00.
