Bitesize Prediction: San Jose Earthquakes vs. LA Galaxy – 9/25/22

Competition: MLS

Market: Double Chance for San Jose Earthquakes

Rating: 4/5 @

Hoping to expand their buffer in Finals Series spots this weekend, San Jose Earthquakes will host LA Galaxy at PayPal Park in the early hours of Sunday.

Starting with the hosts, while San Jose may have last been seen grabbing a point against Dallas, that doesn't cover what has been a nightmarish campaign for the Earthquakes. Sitting bottom of the Western Conference table and with just two wins to their name since mid-July, Luchi Gonzalez's men should be happy to return to home soil here. While their nightmarish form was highlighted by a 6-0 in Cincinnati earlier in the month, the California-based outfit have recently enjoyed a boost at PayPal Park. Including a shock 2-1 victory over the MLS giants in Los Angeles on August 20, San Jose has lost just one of its last six games in front of its own fans. Holding a rather frenzied record against Sunday's guests, some in Gonzalez's camp might sense an opportunity to cause mayhem.

As for the visitors, who managed to make a much-appreciated comeback on their way to victory last weekend, LA Galaxy will be desperate to prove that it wasn't just a small boost . Eventually earning a 4-1 win at home to Colorado, that result ended their four-game winless streak. However, while Los Blancos could still find themselves in pole position to clinch a Final Series spot this season, Greg Vanney's men have continued to show rather glaring problems on the road. Last seen on their travels being thrashed 3-0 at Vancouver on September 14, the Galaxy have remarkably picked up just one away win in MLS since the start of May. . Likewise, it's also worth noting that, suffering a 3-2 loss when they played rivals California in July, LA have lost back-to-back meetings against San Jose.

Bet: San Jose Earthquakes Double Chance vs. LA Galaxy 4/5 for Sunday's MLS Battle @
