San Jose Earthquakes vs Minnesota United Prediction and Betting Tips | March 8th 2025
San Jose Earthquakes and Minnesota United return to action in MLS when they square off at PayPal Park on Saturday. Bruce Arena’s men, who are unbeaten in their last four games against the visitors, will look to extend this fine run and maintain their 100% record this season.
San Jose Earthquakes made it two wins from two in the new MLS campaign as they held on to see out a 2-1 victory over Sporting Kansas City last Sunday. Before that, Arena’s side kicked off the season with a bang as they steamrolled Real Salt Lake 4-0 at Children's Mercy Park on February 23.
San Jose have come into the new season off the back of a largely disappointing 2024 campaign as they finished rock-bottom in the Supporters' Shield standings with just 21 points from 34 games.
Elsewhere, Kelvin Yeboah grabbed the headlines for Minnesota United last time out as he netted the only goal of the game in the 69th minute to hand them a 1-0 victory over CF Montreal.
This followed a 1-0 defeat against Los Angeles FC on February 22, when 28-year-old forward Jeremy Ebobisse struck with 12 minutes to go at the BMO Stadium.
Minnesota United will be backing themselves to keep the ball rolling as they take on an opposing side that have won just two of their last 13 clashes since March 2019.
