Prediction New Mexico United vs San Antonio 2025 – Betting Tips for the USL Championship on 02/11/2025

Match preview: New Mexico United hosts San Antonio in Bekasi

The USL Championship switches gears as New Mexico United prepare to welcome San Antonio to Stadion Patriot in Bekasi on 02/11/2025. On paper this is a clash between a side riding a wave of form and an away team trying to rediscover consistency. New Mexico arrive third in the group with 48 points from 30 matches, boasting 14 wins and a positive goal difference that has been fashioned largely at home — 26 goals scored in their home fixtures. Their recent run reads like a morale-boosting script: wins against Rhode Island and Phoenix Rising sandwiching high-scoring draws, and a sequence of six wins, three draws and only one loss in their last ten competitive outings. That kind of momentum matters in decisive rounds.

San Antonio, sitting fifth with 40 points, have recorded some volatile results. Their October form includes a statement 5-2 victory over El Paso, but that result is offset by a run of narrow defeats earlier in the month. Across the season they’ve managed 11 wins and 12 losses with 39 goals scored; as visitors they’ve shown resilience but a relative shortage of goals away from home — 16 away strikes compared to New Mexico’s 19 on the road. The head-to-head earlier this season also favours New Mexico: a 1-0 away win back in September, an outcome that adds psychological edge to the hosts.

Tactical outlook and key statistical clues

Expect a competitive game with attacking intent. New Mexico’s home figures underline their attacking threat — 197 shots inside the box and 107 shots on target across the campaign — and they have kept 10 clean sheets, highlighting an ability to control games at Stadion Patriot. San Antonio have created slightly more overall shooting volume across the season but their away goal return is modest, and their defensive record away (conceded 21) suggests they can be vulnerable to a polished home side. Both teams show a healthy proportion of matches with goals: New Mexico’s over 2.5 matches sit at 60% while San Antonio hover closer to 46.7% — so the market hints at goals, but the stronger form side looks primed to dictate proceedings.
