Eastern Conference and Overall leaders Nashville travel to face San Jose Earthquakes in MLS. Nashville are 14 points clear at the top of the Eastern Conference and the overall standings and they look set to confirm their place in the CONCACAF Champions Cup as well as the playoffs. The Quakes can also confirm their playoff place soon and still have hopes of a potential top four finish in the overall table. 

This match could be one of the highest of this round of MLS fixtures. Both sides are in good form, the Quakes have won three and drawn three of their last six, with The Boys In Gold winning their last four straight games. The main reason for Nashville's success this season is their superb home form, they've won 14 and drawn one of their 15 home games this season. On the road, though, their form isn't as impressive. In fact, Nashville have only won six away. Of their last three away games, Nashville have won one, drawn one and lost one. Equally, San Jose Earthquakes' home form isn't great either, winning six of their 15 games at PayPal Park.

For our prediction, we think the Quakes have a better chance of getting something from this game than the sportsbooks are suggesting. Nashville are the favorites for victory, but with the form Quakes are in, it wouldn't surprise us if they took at least a point here.
