MLS: Sporting Kansas City vs San Jose Earthquakes Odds and Betting Preview

Kansas are 23/20 favourites for the match with Stan James. The Earthquakes are 13/5 with Bluesquare to record their third road win of the season. Paddy Power go 11/5 on the draw.

A capacity crowd saw Kansas draw 0-0 with the Chicago Fire last Thursday in Sporting's first home game of the season after their brand new $200 million arena was finally opened. The Hosts have endured a miserable start to the season and are currently bottom of the Eastern Conference with a 2-6-4 record. However, Peter Vermes' side will be confident heading into the match after ending a nine match winless streak with a 4-1 rout of second place Dallas on Sunday. Graham Zusi and Luke Sassano stole the show against Dallas, both making the MLS team of the week, and will be looking to further their claims for starting places after being given the nod due to Gold Cup absentees.

The San Jose Earthquakes currently sit 6th in the Western Conference standings and are on a good run of form with a 3-0-2 record in their last five League matches. The Earthquakes saw off DC United 4-2 in Washington on Saturday which saw them improve to a 2-2-2 road record. Steven Lenhart was in majestic form against D.C United, scoring a hat-trick and grabbing an assist and was rewarded with the MLS player of the week award.
