Our prediction for this MLS match:

San Jose Earthquakes

San Jose Earthquakes

Orlando City

Orlando City

San Jose Earthquakes play host to Orlando City at their PayPal Park in what is expected to be an interesting Major League Soccer game. The Earthquakes aim to recover from a 4-2 loss to Portland Timbers and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Lions. Defender Bruno Wilson is banned for the match, while all JT Marcinkowski, Daniel, and Jamar Ricketts are sidelined through injuries.

Meanwhile, the first half of the season has been a mixed bag for Orlando City, who are sitting in 11th place in the standings. The Lions want to climb to the playoffs berth, but beating San Jose on the road is easier said than done. As a result, we predict that there is a big value in betting on draw. Orlando City midfielder Cesar Araujo serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
