San Jose Earthquakes will look to respond quickly after their narrow 3-2 defeat to Seattle Sounders ended a superb unbeaten run. As Dallas experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-2 loss to Vancouver, we predict a 2-1 home win. The Quakes have been one of the most entertaining teams in MLS recently, winning seven of their last ten matches while averaging an impressive 2.80 goals per game. Their home form has been especially strong, with four wins and a draw from the last five at PayPal Park. However, injuries to Timo Werner and Vitor Costa reduce options for the hosts.
FC Dallas also come into this clash following a 3-2 defeat, losing a dramatic encounter against Vancouver. Despite inconsistent overall form, the Toros have performed well on the road, winning two of their last three away matches while conceding only 0.67 goals per away game. Injuries to Geovane Jesus, Julio Santos, and Bernard Kamungo could still hurt squad depth, particularly against a high-scoring San Jose side. The head-to-head record suggests a competitive contest, with 15 of the last 35 meetings ending level, while 66% of those matches saw both teams score.
Considering San Jose's recent splendid home record, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, with additional value on San Jose Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (San Jose matches average 4.0 goals).
This MLS match will be played on Sunday 17 May 2026 at 03:30.
