FC Cincinnati vs. San Jose Earthquakes Odds
Game Preview
Pat Noonan’s squad returns to TQL Stadium looking to dictate tempo and extend their home form. Cincinnati has just one loss in the past 7 home games across all competitions.
The team from Ohio is very confident at home, where it scores 3 goals per game, but on the other side, concedes often as well. Its home goal difference is 24-17 after 8 MLS fixtures. Kevin Denkey with 11 goals and Evander with 10 are the top two threats, adding that the Brazilian has 8 assists as well.
The Earthquakes have their sharpshooter in the form of forward Preston Judd. The American has scored 11 goals so far on only 26 shots on target, which is an incredible conversion rate.
Though, San Jose’s form is highly questionable, as they haven’t won for a very long time. Their previous triumph was in May, and after the MLS restart, we saw them lose 0-4 to Orlando City and draw 1-1 with Galaxy, both at home.

FC Cincinnati vs. Earthquakes Predictions
Two elite strikers clash, both leading teams that are solely focused on the offensive part of the game, often neglecting defensive assignments. That’s why we pick over 3.5 goals for this event.
