The San Jose Earthquakes currently find themselves in 9th place in the Western Conference. They have accrued 3 wins, 1 draw, and 4 losses this season. Their recent form of late has been inconsistent, as displayed in their last five matches; two defeats, one draw, one win, and yet another loss, that is, 2 wins and 3 losses- LLDWL. Their home form has, however, proved a little more consistent, winning 2, losing 2, and drawing 1 in their last 5 outings at PayPal Park since WLLDW.
In the latest, the San Jose Earthquakes lost 2-1 to LAFC after putting in a valiant effort. The game statistics give a picture of a team with 51% possession, 6 corner kicks, 12 fouls, 1 yellow card, and 3 shots on target. Cristian Espinoza scored the only goal for San Jose with an assist from Josef Martínez. Unfortunately, there was a cause for concern when goalkeeper Daniel de Sousa Britto sustained a head injury and had to be substituted.
The Earthquakes, statistically speaking, have very interesting revealing trends. They have conceded goals in the last seven matches, and at least 2.5 goals have been scored in eight of the last ten. In these last five matches, both teams have scored, obviously showing advanced defensive frailties but positive signs in their attack. Ironically, under 4.5 total cards have been shown in each of their last six games, meaning the discipline is far ahead of their defensive game.

🔖 Expected Lineup (3-6-1): Daniel, D. Romney, Bruno Wilson, Rodrigues, Ian Harkes, B. Leroux, C. Espinoza, Niko Tsakiris, C. Arango, Vitor Acosta, Josef Martínez.

✈️ Sporting Kansas City: form and statistics
Sporting Kansas City is facing a very tough season, with a standing of 14th place in the Western Conference with just 1 win, 1 draw, and 6 losses to show for it. Their form doesn't give confidence either; they've lost 4 out of their last 5 games, with just a solitary win tucked between the losses; DLLWL. Even more worrying is their away form. Sporting KC has so far played five away matches and lost them all.
Their latest defeat occurred at home to the Portland Timbers when they brought the score to 4-2. Despite scoring efforts from Shapi Suleymanov and Dejan Joveljic, these two could not contain the offensive threats from Portland. The match ended with a record of 45 possession, six corners, nine fouls levied, a yellow card shown, and six shots taken on target. Portland took the advantage of defensive lapses, with Kevin Kelsy scoring twice, David Ayala adding another, and a costly own goal sealing Sporting KC's fate.
That trend continued with Kansas City, an array of high-scoring games. Six of their last eight games featured over 2.5 goals, and six out of eight had both teams score. However, in a peculiar twist, the number of corners has remained quite low, with five of their last seven games finishing under 10.5 total corners.
The club was significantly affected when long-time goalkeeper Tim Melia announced his retirement at age 38. Melia is the club's all-time legend, recording all-time records for regular-season wins (107), saves (746), and clean sheets (69).
Sporting Kansas Lineup
🔖 Expected Lineup: J. Pulskamp, K. Shelton, Jansen Miller, Joaquín Fernández, L. Ndenbe, J. Davis, J. Bartlett, Manu Garcia, Suleymanov, Dejan Joveljic, D. Salloi.
⛔️ Out: N. Radoja, Andrew Brody
👤Head coach: Kerry Zavagnin

📊 San Jose Earthquakes vs Sporting Kansas City: Head-to-Head Statistics
Though slightly in favor of Kansas, the rivalry between San Jose Earthquakes and Sporting Kansas City has been fairly well-balanced throughout the years. Out of a total of 76 meetings, Sporting KC has won 30 times, whereas San Jose has won 26 times, and the rest of the matches went 20 to a draw.
Their latest clash finished with San Jose winning 2-1, but the teams have been exchanging results for the last two-three seasons, and both sides have been scoring regularly. For instance, in the last three meetings, both clubs conceded goals, which hints at a trend toward open and attacking games. Five of their last six head-to-heads saw over 2.5 goals scored, which would mean that another high-scoring fixture could be on the cards this weekend. Besides, six out of eight last games between the two sides have ended with under 10.5 corners, reinforcing the trend of moderate set-piece action.
📉 San Jose Earthquakes vs Sporting Kansas City Betting Trend & Odds
- Both teams seem inclined to leak goals and score, with San Jose seeing over 2.5 goals in 8 of their last 10 matches while Sporting KC has hit that number in 6 of the last 8 matches. Given that when the two teams meet, they are not known for their solid defensive structures yet prefer open play, that certainly looks really probable over 2.5 goals to be scored in the match. (Over 2.5 goals - 1.6 odds)
- San Jose has scored in each of the last 5 games, while Sporting KC has notched a goal in 6 of their prior 8 games too. Both units appear vulnerable indeed, and goals from both ends shall come sooner or later (BTTS - 1.53 Odds)
- This season, Sporting KC has lost all five away encounters. San Jose, although not flawless, has shown resilience at home and should capitalize on Kansas' away struggles and low morale (San Jose Win FT - 1.96 Odds)
- Historical match data between these sides shows a consistent downward trend in low corner counts; this trend is also supported in the recent fixtures played by both sides (under 11 corners - 1.61 Odds)
💰 San Jose Earthquakes vs Sporting Kansas City Match Prediction 20 April 2025
The match presents exciting betting opportunities, especially to those looking at the goal markets. San Jose's mediocre record at home still gives it the edge over a Kansas City side that has failed to earn a single road point. As both sides are often involved in high-scoring matches and have been rather poor in defense, this should be an entertaining match with chances at both ends. For punters, the favorable trends toward goal and result markets make this clash attractive on the weekend betting slips.
