Premium Tips
Two Premium Tips for San Jose Earthquakes vs Colorado Rapids, with Anthony Eadson expecting little to separate the sides.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Under 2.5 goals | 13/10 (Sky Bet) | Three of San Jose’s last four games have finished 1-1, and the one exception was a 3-0 defeat at Dallas. Colorado’s matches have stayed under 2.5 goals 17 times in 31, and they have managed just 13 goals in 15 away games, failing to score in seven of them. When these sides met in Colorado earlier this month it finished 1-1, and another game of that shape makes 13/10 appealing. |
| The draw | 14/5 (Sky Bet) | San Jose have drawn nine of their 31 games, seven of them 1-1, and three of those draws came in their last four outings. Colorado arrive having drawn three of their last four as well, and the reverse fixture on 11 October ended level. The Rapids have lost 10 away games, but San Jose have won just six of 15 at PayPal Park, so neither side holds a clear edge. Take the stalemate at 14/5. |
