St. Louis City SC vs. LAFC Betting Preview
St. Louis SC Preview
It has been an excellent season to this point for the hosts this week, as they sit top of the Western Conference standings after 29 rounds of matches. However, they have been one of the most straightforward MLS teams to beat throughout this season. Despite sitting top of the standings, St. Louis have lost ten of their 29 matches in the MLS. However, they remain six points clear of LAFC at the top of the conference standings.
They will be looking to get back on track this week, as they have failed to win in their last three matches in the MLS. Their most recent fixture was on Saturday, as they played out a 1-1 draw against Houston Dynamo. But it would be a considerable concern that they have won just once in their last five MLS fixtures.
LAFC Preview
LAFC will be aware that they are running out of matches on the MLS schedule to finish top of the Western Conference standings, as they currently sit six points behind the runaway leaders. However, they have won 12 of their 28 matches this term, and they have suffered nine defeats in the MLS.
LAFC have also struggled in recent weeks, as they have lost three of their previous four in the MLS. But, they did get back on track in their most recent fixture, as they overcame LA Galaxy on Saturday evening. That was the team’s best performance in recent weeks, with Denis Bouanga scoring a brace in the victory. But backing up the victory against St. Louis is now their big challenge.
St. Louis City SC vs. LAFC Betting Picks
LAFC were excellent in the previous meeting between these sides this term, as they landed a comfortable 3-0 win in Los Angeles in July. St. Louis have been a little too easy to beat for our liking, which means that it is a selection that we will overlook when making MLS picks this week.
LAFC were back to their very best against the Galaxy on Saturday, and therefore, it could be a solid selection to side with them at the St. Louis City vs LAFC odds available this weekend.
- Pick: LAFC (+160)
