San Jose Earthquakes vs Nashville: Betting on a total under

The San Jose Earthquakes will face Nashville in the next round of the MLS. The two teams from the Western Conference are meeting, and the bookmakers do not see any favourites in this pairing, believing that the opponents have roughly equal chances of success.

While San Jose hasn't won a single game in the MLS-2022 regular season, the future home team has conceded in every game, and overall, they have 15 conceded goals in six games or 2.5 per game on average. San Jose sits in last, 14th place in the Western Conference standings with just two points out of a possible 18. They are eight points behind Nashville, who are currently in the playoff zone. San Jose has two draws and a 6:8 defeat by the Red Bulls.

Nashville had a poor start to the season, but there was a clear positive trend in the last two games, two wins in the last two games over Columbus and Sporting Kansas City. Thanks to those two victories, Nashville climbed into the top seven. Before the start of the MLS regular season, Nashville had 10 points, one point behind Portland, Nashville's closest pursuer. By the way, Nashville has the best away statistics in the conference, but also the maximum number of games away with a goal difference of 6:6.

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.
