San Jose Earthquakes will be aiming to build on their opening-round victory over Sporting Kansas City when they host Atlanta United. As the Five Stripes are not regarded as good travellers, we predict a 1-0 home win. The hosts will again be without Edwards and Mendoza, both sidelined through injury, but their attacking output remains strong: San Jose average 1.60 goals per game overall and have scored in 100% of their matches so far. Their xG numbers (1.75 overall, 2.10 at home) suggest they are creating consistent danger, while 83% BTTS at home highlights their defensive vulnerability.
Atlanta United, meanwhile, arrive low on confidence after a 2-0 defeat to Cincinnati and without any new injury concerns. The bigger issue is their poor form: only 10% win rate, and they fail to score in 50% of matches. Their away attack is particularly concerning, averaging just 0.33 goals per game, backed by a modest 1.03 xG.
Given San Jose's better form and the far stronger scoring record, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside Under 3.5 goals and San Jose to Score First.
