LA Galaxy vs San Jose Earthquakes betting tips: Major League Soccer preview, predictions and odds


San Jose Quakes have won two of their last three visits to Carson, despite only winning two of their previous ten visits south.

Over 2.5 goals is 8/15.

Over 2.5 goals and both teams to score is 10/11.

LA Galaxy to win and over 2.5 goals is 6/5.

Javier Hernández bagged a brace in his last Cali Clásico. He is 11/4 to break the deadlock and 8/13 to add another here.

Ten of Jeremy Ebobisse's 14 MLS goals since the start of last season have been scored on the road. He is 7/1 to open the scoring and 15/8 to add to this tally. 

Match preview

After last month's clash at Stamford Stadium was postponed, it is belatedly time for the first California Clásico of 2022.

These two cross-state foes have met 93 times since first doing so in 1996, most famously doing so in MLS Cup 21 years ago.

In total, LA Galaxy have won 43 Cali Clásicos, to San Jose's 31, and the Galaxy come into this latest clash as favourites too.

Although, on Friday night, Greg Vanney's team were beaten by their other big rivals, going down 3-2 to LAFC at Banc of California Stadium.

Samuel Grandsir and Rayan Raveloson on target in vain in El Tráfico.

So, LA have have actually lost four of their last eight matches, only beating Austin (twice) and CF Montréal since 23 April.

This has derailed the Galaxy's play-off push, seeing them drop down to fifth in the west.

However, this is vastly better than San Jose Earthquakes' current predicament given that they are rock bottom of the conference.

Alex Covelo's team snatched a 2-2 draw at BMO Field on Saturday; Jack Skahan equalising in stoppage time against Toronto.

However, the Quakes have still only won four times in 2022, so it would be a major surprise if they won at Dignity Health Sports Park.
