For the St. Louis City vs FC Dallas match prediction, we believe the final score will be a 2-0 win for St. Louis City based on our analysis.

This is a big opportunity for the hosts, who face an FC Dallas side missing key personnel, and that is far from strong on the road. Can the hosts take advantage? I think so.

This will be the third time that the pair have clashed this season, first meeting in April, when they drew 0-0 at this venue, before FC Dallas won by two goals to nil at Toyota Stadium.

This game will take place on 27/07/2024 at CITYPARK. Kick off will be at 21:00 local time.

Let’s be honest, it’s been anything but a pleasing season for a St. Louis City team that did so well last time around.

Now playing in Major League Soccer for their second season, the buzz has gone and there’s been a sense of crashing back down to earth for Bradley Carnell’s men. Carnell himself is now gone having been fired three weeks ago, leaving the team from CITYPARK to rebuild under interim boss John Hackworth, for now.

We can’t really say that things have improved since Carnell left, but Saturday’s hosts did at least pick up a point on the road last time out, which does give them a platform from which to build here.

The St. Louis boys also have a recent home win against the San Jose Earthquakes to draw upon, so we probably shouldn’t be too surprised if they get a result here.

For the visitors, consistency has been a problem, while they’ve struggled to get results on the road too, which realistically, is why they’re currently outside of the play-off spots in the Western Conference.

This is also an FC Dallas team that goes to CITYPARK for this Leagues Cup game without some big players.

Jesus Ferreira continues to be sidelined with injury, which continues to leave a rather sizable dent in the Dallas offense, while other important individuals such as Asier Illarramendi and Paxton Pomykal are also injured.

To add insult to injury, key man Petar Musa, who has been on fire in front of goal recently, is off with the All-Stars, as is first-choice keeper Maarten Paes, so this really is a depleted visiting team.

St. Louis City vs FC Dallas picks

Ahead of what is an intriguing clash at CITYPARK, I’ve landed on one pick that looks to be slightly generously priced.

St Louis City to Win

Betting on the hosts to win looks to be the value play here. To be honest, I think they could quite easily be a bit shorter than the currently available odds of +115.

I know that they’ve struggled this term, while they’ve been far from consistent at home, but this really is a threadbare FC Dallas side.

The visitors are missing so many of their important players, that this really is a huge opportunity for the hosts, who right now, are not without any of their top contributors.

That tie last time out represented a step in the right direction, while that recent home win against the Earthquakes was a timely reminder of what this St. Louis City team can come up with on a good day. I’m betting that they’ll have a good day on Saturday.
