San Jose Earthquakes vs Los Angeles Galaxy Prediction and Betting Tips for this Western Conference clash set for Sunday at PayPal Park.

- San Jose Earthquakes sit fifth with 26 points after 19 games
- Los Angeles Galaxy have the worst defense in MLS with 41 goals conceded
- Both teams average high goals per match this season
San Jose Earthquakes have bounced back impressively this season, sitting fifth after 19 matches with 26 points. Bruce Arena’s men boast an average of 2.78 goals scored per game and a staggering 89% record for matches with over 1.5 goals. In their recent 4-2 win over Dallas, four different scorers highlighted their attacking depth. With Josef Martinez, Cristian Espinoza, and Cristian Arango in form, the Quakes look primed to break down any defense, especially at home.
The Earthquakes’ defensive record remains patchy, conceding an average of 1.89 goals per match, resulting in a high average of 4.67 goals per game overall. This explains why 78% of their games see both teams scoring and 78% finish over 2.5 goals. While their attacking flair is undeniable, their defensive gaps ensure that there’s always room for opponents to get on the scoresheet, making them a reliable pick for goal-heavy encounters.
On the flip side, Los Angeles Galaxy head to San Jose hoping to salvage a disappointing campaign. Sitting rock-bottom with just eight points from 19 matches, they’ve only picked up one win all season. The Galaxy have conceded a league-high 41 goals, averaging 2.36 against per game. Even so, they’ve shown glimpses of attacking promise, with Marco Reus adding some creativity and Christian Ramirez likely to lead the line if fit.
Despite their struggles, Galaxy’s matches average 3.27 goals, with 55% seeing both teams score and 55% going over 2.5 goals. Their open style and leaky defense suggest another game loaded with goalmouth action. With the Quakes’ scoring power and the Galaxy’s defensive issues, expect another end-to-end affair. These stats make the case clear for MLS Predictions that focus on BTTS and goals markets.
San Jose Earthquakes are one of MLS’s most entertaining sides, averaging 4.67 total goals per match and seeing 78% of their games land in BTTS territory. Their attack is led by prolific names like Cristian Arango and Josef Martinez, who ensure they find the net consistently. However, their defense remains leaky, conceding 1.89 goals on average per game. Los Angeles Galaxy, despite their struggles, still see 55% of their matches end with both teams scoring. With Marco Reus pulling the strings, the Galaxy can pose problems in the final third. Add to this San Jose’s willingness to play expansive football and it’s easy to see why BTTS holds value. Given both sides’ goal stats and defensive gaps, goals at both ends look very likely at PayPal Park.
San Jose Earthquakes are averaging an incredible 4.67 goals per match this season, with 78% of their fixtures hitting the Over 2.5 Goals mark. They’re the highest-scoring side in the Western Conference, yet they also have defensive gaps that invite goals. The Galaxy are averaging 3.27 goals per game with 55% of their matches ending over 2.5. While Galaxy struggle for wins, their poor defensive record — conceding 2.36 goals per match — creates open games. With attacking talents like Cristian Espinoza and Marco Reus on the pitch, chances should come at both ends. The stats speak for themselves: when San Jose play, goals follow. With both teams needing points and unlikely to sit back, Over 2.5 Goals looks like strong value here.
