St. Louis City vs Minnesota United tips and predictions

Hard to take sides in MLS battle

This isn't a confident view but the short price for St. Louis City renders them a horrible bet. Minnesota United don't look likely to get the job done but they can cause some problems. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick.

There have been some notable displays in defence by both sides. Not giving much away to recent opponents, St. Louis City have conceded only 1 goal in their last 3 matches, while Minnesota United have only conceded 0.7 goals per game on average in their last 6 away matches.

The sportsbooks expect goals at both ends of the park despite the favouritism for St. Louis City. However the odds-against for the No BTTS is actually the standout from that market. And in the total goals line, it's Under 2.5 Goals for this one considering the price that's available there.

Minnesota United have drawn 3 of their last 5 matches. They drew 1-1 with Vancouver Whitecaps last week. The price is just a touch too big, and that's why this verdict goes for the draw.
