Toronto FC vs San Jose Earthquakes Prediction & Betting Tips (10 July)

Already very disappointing last year, Toronto FC is not doing much better this year and finds itself again vegetating in the 2nd part of the classification in the East. In the hard, the Canadians could only take 18 points during the first 18 days and point to a very average 12th place in their conference. Large winners of the Montreal Impact in the semi-finals of the Canadian championship 4-0, the players of Bob Bradley then chained with a success against Atlanta United 2-1 before losing against Columbus Crew 1-2 and the Seattle Sounders 0-2. For its part, the San José Earthquakes did not really shine either last year, taking only 10th place in the west, an insufficient result to hope to participate in the play-offs.

And unless they wake up quickly, Alex Covelo's men should certainly not be able to do better this season. On the contrary, they are doing even worse for the moment, occupying only 13th place in the standings with 18 points scored in 17 days. After having lined up 2 defeats in 3 games, they revived in the last game by winning against the poorly ranked Chicago Fire.

The only player missing on the Canadian side is midfielder Noble Okello, who suffered an abdominal injury in July. Recruited in recent weeks, Italian international Lorenzo Insigne (ex Lazio) could make his debut with his new team this weekend. He will come to support on the flank of the attack the prolific Spanish striker Jesus Jimenez, author of 8 goals and 3 assists since the start of the season. Also watch out for midfielders Pozuelo (4 goals, 4 assists) and Osorio (4 goals, 3 assists).

In San José, the coach will have to do without the little-used or long-term injured midfielders Tsakiris, Haji, Fuentes and Asomani . Otherwise, the strength of this formation is relatively unknown on this side of the Atlantic. Note all the same the presence of the very good Cameroonian striker Ebobisse, author of 9 goals since the beginning of the season while his dolphin in the ranking of scorers is the Argentinian Espinozo and his 4 goals.
