San Jose Earthquakes vs Houston Dynamo Prediction: Don't get confident.

Round 6 features two teams in the middle of the western conference. San Jose Earthquakes welcomes Houston Dynamo to the Earthquake Stadium for another exciting clash in the new season. The Earthquakes have been without a win in their last 2 matches, after losing to Colorado Rapids and holding Toronto to a draw in their last match. Houston Dynamo seem to have recovered from a horrible start to the campaign, as they have gotten back-to-back wins in their last 2 matches. 

San Jose Earthquakes (DLWWL)

San Jose Earthquakes went from back-to-back wins against Colorado Rapids and Vancouver Whitecaps, to a loss and a draw in their last 2 matches. In their last 5 matches in the MLS, they recorded 2 losses, 2 wins and 1 draw. 

Their last match ended in a 0-0 draw with Toronto FC. San Jose were second best in that game, after taking just 46% possession, 2 shots on target and 6 corner kicks at the end of 90 minutes. 

San Jose Earthquakes are currently 7th in the western conference, after taking 7 points from 5 matches this season. 

Team Streak:- less than 4.5 cards (8/10).

Houston Dynamo (WWLLW)

Houston Dynamo seemed to have recovered from two defeats in the first two games by winning their last 2 matches against Austin and New York City. They can come into this game with confidence and hope they snatch another win against a struggling San Jose Earthquakes team. Amine Bassi scored the only goal that separated the two sides, as Houston Dynamo beat New York City by 1-0. Houston Dynamo had fewer possession (45%), but registered more shots on target (2) than the opposition.

Houston Dynamo are now 8th in the western conference, with 6 points from 4 matches played.

Team Streaks:- less than 10.5 corners (⅘).

Expert Betting Tips

Houston Dynamo are on a brilliant run and they seem to be getting better with each passing game. They're also superior in head to head chats. However, I don't think they're clear favourites here, as they will be playing away to the San Jose Earthquakes, who are in dire need of a positive response. Expect an exciting game with goals from both ends to say the least.
