Kicking off early on Saturday evening, the San Jose Earthquakes will take on Real Salt Lake in a Western Conference battle between two teams hoping to feature in the soon-to-begin postseason. The hosts have already booked their place in the play-offs, so their only job now is to build momentum, which is exactly what Bruca Arena will be looking for having seen his team go five games without a win. The visitors have picked up the pace in recent weeks, and as a result, they have a real shot of reaching the play-offs, but their task is not yet complete.
From a betting angle, those looking for a piece of the value pie could do much worse than 'San Jose Earthquakes to Score Over 1.5 Goals'. Bruce Arena's men have been in strong scoring form of late, while they're up against an RSL team that has struggled for defensive solidity on the road.

Our San Jose Earthquakes vs Real Salt Lake Prediction
The RSL boys have avoided conceding multiple goals in each of their last two on the road, but they didn't keep a clean sheet in either of those games, nor did they avoid giving up chances. Prior to that, they shipped multiple goals in three straight road games, so we should not be surprised if a San Jose team flourishes in the final third on Saturday.
The hosts know how to score goals at home, averaging 1.75 goals scored per home games, scoring multiple goals in three of their last four in front of a home crowd.
Our San Jose Earthquakes vs Real Salt Lake Pick: San Jose Earthquakes to Score Over 1.5 Goals.
