Hot on the heels of the Western Conference leaders, the Houston Dynamo will see this game as an opportunity to go top of the tree, though to do that, they'll need to do something that they haven't done in nearly a month, and that's win away from home. Last time out, they failed to score on the road, while they also failed to find the net when facing the San Jose Earthquakes earlier in the campaign. At PayPal Park, the hosts will be looking for a first win since April.
From a betting perspective, 'Under 2.5 Goals' is an eye-catching option at odds of +130. The hosts are missing a couple of key players, including Timo Werner, while they've not exactly been scoring bucket loads at home. Similarly, the visitors haven't been overly explosive on the road, typically being involved in low-scoring games when playing away from the comforts of home.

Our San Jose Earthquakes vs Houston Dynamo Prediction
As the stats above suggest, this could easily be a relatively low-scoring encounter. At the very least, there's more to suggest that we'll see a lack of goals, just as we did in the reverse fixture, than the early odds would have us believe, meaning that 'Under 2.5 Goals' goes down as a value selection.
It's hard to ignore the fact that both teams have struggled for goals in their respective home and away games, while it's also hard to ignore that the visitors have kept four clean sheets in their last five away games.
Our San Jose Earthquakes vs Houston Dynamo Pick: Under 2.5 Goals.
