Prediction
Minnesota United FC 2, San Jose Earthquakes 2 (PKs)
Moneyline (ML)
Minnesota United FC (+220) picked up an emotional win over previously unbeaten Columbus last round, while the San Jose Earthquakes (+115) have been anything but faulty so far in this tournament. This is going to be a very, very hotly contested match which isn’t decided in regular time. Therefore, play the DRAW (+270), which is the best value on the board. This one will be decided on penalty kicks, and playing MINNESOTA UNITED (-106) TO ADVANCE TO NEXT ROUND is also a decent small-unit wager. Minnesota hasn’t lost to San Jose since May 12, 2018.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 2.5 (-162) is worth a look, as we should see a low-scoring match which cannot be decided in full time or extra time. However, we’ll see plenty of goals along the way. In the previous six meetings in this series we have had at least three goals, with five of the outings seeing at least four goals.
