Sporting Kansas City at San Jose Earthquakes 5/22/21 - MLS Picks & Predictions

The San Jose Earthquakes will be looking to return to winning ways when they will play host to Kansas City on Saturday. Kansas are coming off a really nice win over Vancouver but they have been pretty bad on the road so far in the season.

San Jose (3-3-0) are coming into this match after a 2-0 home loss to the Portland Timbers. They conceded an early goal at the 5th minute and Wondolowski had the chance to pull even at the 62nd minute but missed on a penalty kick. Portland scored a second goal just 8 minutes later for the final 2-0. After winning 3 in a row, San Jose have now lost 2 in a row without even scoring. The Quakes are sitting at the 5th spot of the Western Conference with 9 points, scoring 10 goals and conceding 8 so far.

Sporting Kansas City (3-2-1) did a great job in their home match against the Vancouver Whitecaps, beating them by an easy 3-0. Salloi took the lead at the 28th minute and Pulido scored a penalty kick at the 32nd minute, before scoring a second goal at the 58th minute for the final 3-0 win. That win came after a loss to Houston, and Kansas City must find a way to piece successful results together. Both teams scored in their first 4 matches but the same stat was absent in each of their last two matches.
