Head-to-head record is tied at one win each from the last four MLS meetings
San Jose Earthquakes hold a slight edge to FC Dallas in the MLS 2025 table in 18th place on 23 points from 18 games to Dallas’s 21 points from 17 outings in 21st place. Both teams are desperate for points and this FC Dallas vs San Jose Earthquakes preview suggests that this game should be a very competitive contest with playoff implications. The last MLS meeting saw San Jose Earthquakes win 3-2 at home to Dallas eight months ago, but the recent FC Dallas vs San Jose Earthquakes prediction is tied at 1 win apiece and two draws.
Dallas have been all over the place this season, but coach Eric Quill has made his team tough to beat on the road and they finally got their confidence back with a 4-2 win away at Sporting Kansas City on Sunday. However, they are yet to win at home and have conceded 9 goals in 6 MLS home games, so they clearly have defensive issues to resolve. Luciano Acosta has been in great form for Dallas with 5 MLS goals in 16 appearances, including 3 of the team’s 9 most recent strikes.
San Jose are more consistent than Dallas and they are an entertaining team to watch as Bruce Arena’s bold switch to a 3-4-3 has brought about a more attacking and wide open brand of San Jose football. In terms of FC Dallas vs San Jose Earthquakes odds, they have 3 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses from 9 MLS away games, so they have been reasonably solid on the road of late with 1 win, 1 draw and 1 defeat from their past 3 MLS fixtures. Preston Judd has scored 3 of San Jose’s 6 goals in their past five games and brings an additional attacking threat, while Cristian Arango remains the Quakes’ most dangerous finisher with 9 goals in 14 MLS appearances this term.
Both teams to score looks a safe bet with odds of 19/20
These two teams are very evenly matched and have been in their head-to-head meetings so the 2.45 for Dallas looks very generous, while 2.80 for the Quakes is also very appealing as the bookies are keen for us to have a bet on either side.
