San Jose Earthquakes II vs Houston Dynamo 2 tips and predictions

Nothing wrong with prices ahead of tight MLS Next Pro encounter

The hosts will be acutely away of the threat posed by this away team. It comes down to gut-feeling and this preview has settled on the home win.

San Jose Earthquakes II backers can take something from the recent results of both teams. The hosts have been on the rampage which is why they've won all of their last 3 games. On a less impressive run, the visitors have lost 3 of their last 4 matches, home or away. They've been facing different opposition but that doesn't appear to be the record of a winning team.

When they're at home San Jose Earthquakes II have been scoring in abundance. Their recent 4 home matches have them knocking in an average of 3.3 goals per game.

Houston Dynamo 2 have not enjoyed some of their recent tests on the road. They actually conceded two or more goals in 4 of their last 6 away matches. And the home side's defenders will take some confidence when they drill in to the form of their oppsite numbers. The visitors have scored one or less goals in all of their last 6 matches, which could be troublesome.

A less optimistic outlook is that they may end up in parity. Most observers believe that both sides can score as they can both be efficient in possession. However the odds-against for the No BTTS is actually the standout from that market. As far as the total goals line goes, it's Under 1.5 that stands out here - but that might not appeal.
