Match Prediction- Nashville SC vs Portland Timbers Betting Tips and Match Prediction
San Jose Earthquakes had to endure a dismal start to the MLS campaign, as they went without a victory for the opening seven games, managing to pick up just four points in that time. While the Quakes were able to win three of their next five matches under the temporary management of Alex Covelo after Matias Almeyda’s departure, they have again experienced a dip in recent weeks, with a win over Portland Timbers firstly followed by a draw with Sporting Kansas City.
They then suffered a 3-2 defeat away at Los Angeles Galaxy, before playing out a stalemate against Nashville SC and heading to Real Salt Lake last time out. Cavalo’s men came away empty-handed from that trip, as goals from Marcelo Silva and Jefferson Savarino condemned them to a 2-0 defeat, leaving the Quakes remaining at the foot of the conference, and they will be keen to turn around their form starting with a positive result on home turf on Monday.

Following an unbeaten start to the league campaign, in which they amassed nine points from the opening five games, Ezra Hendrickson’s side experienced a dismal run, as they went 10 games without another victory, picking up just three points between the beginning of April and the end of May while suffering seven defeats. That slump was finally put to an end as the Illinois outfit beat DC United 1-0 on home turf, only to lose their next contest away at Houston Dynamo 2-0.
Hendrickson’s men were again able to return to winning ways last time out, though, as Federico Navarro’s second-half goal made the difference in a 1-0 home victory over Phiadelphia Union. Having dropped to second-from-bottom in the Eastern Conference as a result of their slump, Chicago Fire will aim to build on Thursday’s win and turn a corner in the MLS, with Monday’s outing providing a chance to put back-to-back victories together for the first time since March.

Having managed to put a crucial win on the board last time out, Chicago Fire will be keen to build a positive run, and they have a good opportunity to do so against the Western Conference’s basement side. The San Jose Earthquakes have been plagued by inconsistency this season, but will bank on their home record this year. They have a good squad at their disposal and will need to work hard to win on Sunday.
The two teams each have the ability to cause the other problems, and we just lean towards a second consecutive win for Hendrickson’s side on Monday. Chicago Fire have endured an abysmal campaign so far, but will take plenty of heart from their performance against the Philadelphia Union. The San Jose Earthquakes are the better team at the moment and should be able to win the game.
San Jose Earthquakes 2-1 Chicago Fire, as predicted by us.
