Minnesota United vs San Jose Earthquakes: Prediction
San Jose have so far flopped in matches away from home. Also, the historic data proves that they are a team with little credentials in road matches over the seasons.
While, Minnesota United are slowly gathering momentum after starting their campaign on back-to-back heavy defeats. At home, they must do well, but they are not devoid of some serious defensive problems.
