San Jose Earthquakes vs Saint Louis City SC Prediction: Expect Many Goals

San Jose Earthquakes were ripped apart when they faced Houston Dynamo in their last game. They conceded 4 goals and managed to score one in that game and their 5-match unbeaten streak came to an end. They are expected to respond when they welcome Saint Louis City to the Earthquakes stadium for the next round of games.

Saint Louis City also have had their fair share of struggles of late and their record shows they are without a win in their last 4 games in a row. They lost 3 and drew 1 of those 4 games and a win here would go a long way for this team to get back on track.

On the table these two are separated by just 2 points, as Saint Louis City are in 6th place with 29 points, while San Jose Earthquakes are 12th with 27 points.

Saint Louis City - LLDLW

Saint Louis City have failed to live up to the hype in recent times with such abysmal performances. They have failed to win in any of their last 4 games in a row and in those games they lost 3 and drew just 1. After the 3-0 win over Houston Dynamo, they lost 2-0 to FC Dallas and then played a 1-1 draw with LA Galaxy and then lost back-to-back games against Nashville SC (3-1) and Real Salt Lake (3-1).

Away from home they are pretty an average team as their statistics shows. They played 8 games away from home and they had 3 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats in those games. They are without a win in their last 5 away games in a row as they lost to Seattle Sounders, Chicago Fire , FC Dallas and Nashville while playing a draw against Colorado Rapids.

The game against Real Salt Lake was one to forget for Saint Louis City as they lost 3-1 at full time. Diego Luna put Real Salt Lake in the lead in the 15th minute before Nicholas Gioacchini scored the equalizer 6 minutes later. And in the 48th minute Saint Louis City conceded again from Damir Kreilach’s effort and then he grabbed his brace with the third goal in the 66th minute to seal the win for the visitors.
