The San Jose Earthquakes are going through a five-game unbeaten run in MLS at home before the start of this game (G4, E1) and in that time they have achieved 68.42% (13) of their 19 points of the season. In addition, in that same period he scored 14 of his 15 goals at home. The Earthquakes have not only improved in local condition, since those led by Matías Almeyda have avoided defeat in eight of their last 10 MLS games (G4, E4, P2). His games average 3.0 total goals in that period and, in addition, he has not conceded goals in the first half on seven occasions. In contrast, Houston definitely has a problem as it has lost four of its last nine MLS games (G3, E2, P4) and that streak has brought them back to an earthly level after starting the season with a five-game unbeaten run. Naturally, this has coincided with a decline in the last third of the field since the Texan cast average only 1.0 goal per game in those nine games. The performance of Wilmer Cabrera's team as a visitor shows no improvement, as he has lost the first half in each of his last four home runs. Although this may be worrisome for the Houston fans, the Dynamo has not lost five straight away games in MLS since May 2017. Players to watch: Earthquakes forward Chris Wondolowski has scored five goals in his last two MLS games at home. At the end of March, Memo Rodríguez opened the scoring in what has been Houston's only win as a visitor in MLS. Statistics to consider: The Earthquakes have not received goals before halftime in four of their last five MLS games at home. Seven of Earthquakes' last eight home games in the MLS have produced more than 2.5 goals in total. Houston has been losing at halftime 1-0 in each of their away defeats in this MLS season. Of the 24 matches between the two in history, the team that loses at halftime ends up going over the match to win in only one occasion.       San Jose Earthquakes VS Houston Dynamo Prediction: X/1 4.50 San Jose Earthquakes VS Houston Dynamo  Betting Tip: Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.80 San Jose Earthquakes VS Houston Dynamo  Score Recommendations: 2-1 10.00

Winners in the opening match of the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament on their second attempt, Uganda will face Zimbabwe after what was also an opening win in the AFCON finals (2-0 against DR Congo). It was also his second consecutive victory by a score of 1-0 at halftime, which illustrates his new power to "stay" in games. Ugandan's recent performance undoubtedly represents a change since before his victory against Côte d'Ivoire in a friendly early this month he had four games without winning (E3, P1). Two of those games ended without goals. Perhaps appropriately, Zimbabwe's first game in the final phase of AFCON also threw a 1-0 score at halftime. However, that score was not in their favor and, in turn, Zimbabwe has lost 1-0 in the last three official matches in which they scored the first goal. Zimbabwe have received the first goal in each of their last four AFCON games, with E1, P3 in that period. In addition, Zimbabwe lost the first half by a margin of at least two goals in two of the three losses during that sequence. Players to watch: Farouk Miya scored both goals in Uganda's opening win, meaning he has now scored or assisted in four of his country's last five victories (four goals, two assists). He managed to leave his unbeaten goal in each of those five triumphs. Zimbabwe center forward, Knowledge Musona, could not cause problems for Egypt's defense in its first AFCON game, but has previous experience in scoring against a better-ranked team in AFCON (vs. Tunis, January 2017) . Statistics to consider: Seven of Uganda's last eight games have produced less than 2.5 goals in total. Eight of Zimbabwe's last nine games have produced less than 2.5 goals. Zimbabwe has the advantage in the section of historical encounters with each other: G5, E8, P2. Only four of the eight games between the two in this decade ended with goals from both teams. On three of those occasions, the score at rest equaled the final result.   Uganda VS Zimbabwe Prediction: X/1 4.50 Uganda VS Zimbabwe  Betting Tip: Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.80 Uganda VS Zimbabwe  Score Recommendations: 2-1 10.00    

Currently ranked # 51 in the FIFA ranking, Ghana reaches its first match of the 2019 African Cup of Nations (AFCON 2019) after losing only two of its last 13 games (including friendlies: G7, E4, P2). In general, the "Black Stars" are going through a great defensive moment since they did not receive goals in more than half (eight) of those matches. Receiving an average of only 0.54 goals per game during that span, Ghana, which has won the AFCON four times, scored the first goal in each of those seven victories. However, he has not been able to win any of the last 15 matches in which he scored the first goal against (E6, P9). Benin (# 91) is going through a streak of three consecutive victories. Curiously, he has scored the first goal (during the first half) in each of his last five games, a lapse in which he has a big record of G4, P1. However, the worrying thing is that the "squirrels" have not won any of their nine previous meetings in this competition (E1, P8). In addition, Benin's results in direct crashes against Ghana should not cause much inspiration among fans as he has won only two of his previous 14 games (E5, P7) and has also scored more than double the goals he has scored. (GF 10, GC 26). Players to watch: The top scorer in Ghana's current squad, Asamoah Gyan (51 international goals) averages 0.49 goals per international match to date. Steve Mounié (Benin) has scored five goals in his last four games. He scored three of those goals after the 60th minute. Statistics to consider: Each of Ghana's last five official matches have produced less than 2.5 total goals. Benin has been leading 1-0 at halftime in each of their last three official matches (G2, P1). Each of the last four official matches have finished with at least one team staying "at zero".   Ghana VS Benin Prediction: X/1 4.50 Ghana VS Benin  Betting Tip: Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.80 Ghana VS Benin  Score Recommendations: 2-1 10.00  

All eyes will be on Clarence Seedorf and the defending champion, Cameroon (# 51 in the FIFA Ranking), as he will face Guinea-Bissau (# 118). A classic match between "David and Goliath", it is expected that Cameroon will win their fourth consecutive victory against Guinea-Bissau in this clash. Cameroon was runner-up in the qualifying phase (G3, E2, P1) and will participate in its 19th African Cup of Nations (AFCON); comes to this game preceded by an unbeaten run of three games in all competitions. During the qualifying phase, only 16.67% of the matches of "Los Leones Indomables" ended with both teams scoring and / or with more than 2.5 goals in total. His rival, Guinea-Bissau, got two points less in the qualifying phase (W2, D3, L1) and failed to score in just one of those encounters. Guinea-Bissau may need a stroke of luck in the face of this commitment, as it has been put at a disadvantage by two goals or more in 69.23% of its 13 previous defeats. Although those 13 defeats have occurred in their last 25 games (G5, E7), Guinea-Bissau should not be so easily ruled out as they defeated two favorite casts, Kenya and Zambia, in the four matches they played before. them in the ranking by margins of a goal; in addition, it has lost by difference of only a goal before Cameroon in the three previous historical clashes before them. In each game, the winning goal was scored in the last 11 minutes of the commitment. Players to watch: PSG striker Maxim Choupo-Moting (CAM) scored two goals during qualifying. I could see action in this clash after opening the score in the commitment to Comoros. Piqueti will surely be part of the team in this match after scoring in the last game against Cameroon and in the most recent match of the Guinea-Bissau qualifying round. On both occasions he opened the scoring. Statistics to consider: Cameroon have not been able to score in any of their last six losses. The four matches of Guinea-Bissau in the AFCON qualifiers ended with both teams scoring and with more than 2.5 goals in total. Cameroon have scored a goal or less in 68.75% of their last 32 matches since the CAF Africa Cup of Nations 2017.   Cameroon VS Guinea Bissau Prediction: X/1 4.50 Cameroon VS Guinea Bissau   Betting Tip: Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.80 Cameroon VS Guinea Bissau   Score Recommendations: 2-1 10.00
