Match preview

San Jose Earthquakes host Houston Dynamo on Sunday, 13 September 2026 at 03:30 in a Major League Soccer encounter. The Earthquakes will look to build momentum following their 3-2 victory over San Diego FC, but face a visiting side in outstanding form. Houston arrive fresh from a 2-1 win over Real Salt Lake and are chasing their sixth away victory of the season. San Jose's attacking intent may be tested by Houston's miserly defensive record on the road, where they have conceded just 0.40 goals per match and kept clean sheets in 80% of their away games.

Form and H2H

San Jose's home record presents significant concerns, with the side winless in their last four matches at home and conceding 3.25 goals per game on average. Their defensive vulnerabilities are compounded by a 75% Both Teams to Score rate at home. Houston, by contrast, have won 60% of their away fixtures this season and boast an impressive 1.56 expected goals average in away matches. Historically, the teams have shared competitive encounters, with San Jose winning three of their six previous meetings and Houston claiming two victories, though these fixtures date back to 2016.

Best Bet

Odds to Watch
