St.Louis City SC vs. San Jose Earthquakes Betting Prediction

St.Louis City SC Preview

Looking steer ship on the touchline will be David Critchley who was named interim boss this week. Critchley will be in a familiar environment, with his most recent job title that saw him coaching St.Louis City2 in MLS NEXT Pro, the affiliate for the first team. 

As a team, St.Louis is tied for the lowest number of goals registered with 11. The club's leading goal-getter this campaign, Cedric Teuchert has obtained three goals in 14 appearances. The attacking midfielder would love nothing more than to impress the new boss by getting on the scorers' sheet for the first time since May 14.

San Jose Earthquakes Preview

It’s been some time since we have seen San Jose in this good of form in MLS play. Almost halfway through the campaign, the Bruce Arena era is looking promising as the Quakes are unbeaten in their last eight across all competitions. The club's most recent result saw them get the better of their California Clásico adversary, topping the LA Galaxy on the road winning 1-0. 

Notching the game-winner on Wednesday, Ousseni Bouda’s shot found the bottom left corner of the target. With his tally, the attacking forward cataloged his third goal of the year. Dating back to 2022, now in his second stint with the team, Bouda has dawned a Quakes kit on 61 occasions in all competitive matches which have seen him log six goals. 

With San Jose’s top scorer on the shelf, MLS savvy veteran striker Josef Martinez will be counted on to supply the offence. In his first season with the NoCal club, the 32-year-old has obtained six goals in over 800 minutes of work. He will be ceaselessly the focal point up front when he laces up the boots, averaging 3.78 shots per 90 this term.

St.Louis City SC vs. San Jose Earthquakes - My Pick

• St.Louis City SC vs. San Jose Earthquakes pick: St.Louis City SC moneyline 3-way (+105) at bet365

In the face of this current form the Earthquakes are in, and we feel for Saturday's encounter that the home side should be able to get the job done. We have seen plenty of scenarios where clubs that start fresh with a new gaffer in the dugout turn out to have a positive outcome in their debut match. St.Louis will be the more rested side which didn’t see them participate in midweek play like their opponent. When San Jose played during the middle of the week, the previous two times they failed to win the following match in 2025. With the Quakes coming off an emotional derby win, we feel there is the potential for a letdown spot for them on Saturday.
