San Jose Earthquakes
MLS game between Portland Timbers and San Jose Earthquakes will bring down the curtain on Sunday’s program. Portland are undefeated in the previous four league fixtures, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of San Jose. Both Blake Bodily and Diego Gutierez are sidelined with injuries, while there are no fresh selection worries in the home team. The Earthquakes, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Houston Dynamo.
Since both sides will go for a win in Sunday’s clash, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. In their last encounter in MLS San Jose recorded a thrilling 3-2 win over Portland. Speaking of the away side, both Siad Haji and Gilbert Fuentes remain in the recovery room, while fellow midfielder George Asomani will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
