San Jose gets a moderate home lean. The Earthquakes have been difficult to beat lately, with two wins and three draws in their last five, while Portland has lost three of its last five and conceded 2.2 goals per game over that span. Season-long numbers also favor San Jose: a +8 goal difference and 1.46 goals allowed per game, compared with Portland’s -1 and 1.85 conceded. Portland’s attack remains credible at 1.81 goals per game, so a home win is far from secure, and San Jose’s home results have been mixed. Still, Portland’s 2-8-2 away record is a concern, and San Jose won the teams’ previous meeting 3-1 in May. Overall, San Jose is likelier to take all three points, with a draw a substantial alternative.
