Prediction: San Jose Earthquakes VS St. Louis City SC 2025-05-31

The battle of the not-so-mighty in the MLS. St. Louis City SC, still reeling from a dismal season, hosts San Jose Earthquakes, who are actually having a decent run. The Earthquakes are on a six-game unbeaten streak, while St. Louis City is... well, let's just say they're still trying to figure things out.

The odds are in favor of St. Louis City, with a price of 2.0-2.05 across various bookmakers, but I'm not buying it. San Jose's potent attack, which has scored 33 goals, should be able to exploit St. Louis City's vulnerable defense. The Earthquakes have a decent chance of winning, and I'd take them at 3.1-3.2 odds.

My best bet, however, is on the under 3.0 goals market. Both teams have struggled to score consistently, and St. Louis City's defense, although leaky, might just be able to hold off the Earthquakes' attack. The under 3.0 goals market is priced at 2.02-2.07 across various bookmakers, which seems like a decent value given the teams' recent performances.

So, there you have it. San Jose Earthquakes to win, but under 3.0 goals in the match. Don't expect a goal fest, folks. This one might be a snooze-fest.

Best Bet: Under 3.0 goals (priced at 2.02-2.07)
