Sporting Look Set to Cover the Line

Sporting KC could have the edge over San Jose and our bet is backing them on the -0.25 Asian Handicap at 1.88. It provides some insurance of half the stake returned in the event of a draw.

Sporting Too Strong for Quakes in Last H2H

Sporting Kansas City were beaten last game and this was on the road at Q2 Stadium. Austin FC claimed a 1-0 victory. Peter Vermes' side managed two shots on target and had 42% possession.

San Jose Earthquakes won their previous game which was at home. It was a 4-0 triumph at PayPal Park against Real Salt Lake. The Quakes were restricted to just 37% possession and had nine shots on goal, with Jamar Ricketts, Rodrigues, Ousseni Bouda and Vitor Costa on the scoresheet.

Sporting have won the last two encounters against San Jose. On their travels, a 2-1 win was secured at PayPal Park and that was preceded by a 2-1 home success at Children's Mercy Park. Sporting have won five of the previous 10 H2H matches, with San Jose getting one victory along with four draws.
