Sporting Kansas City vs St. Louis City — Tips & Analysis

St. Louis City -0.25: St. Louis are the better side here, and they meet a Sporting team in free fall. Sporting sit bottom of the Western Conference on 14 points with a goal difference of minus 30. They have not scored in any of their last three games, losing 0-2, 0-2 and 0-4. They have won 4 and lost 14 of their last 20, and they lost by 2 or more in 11 of them. Agyabeng and Mosquera are both suspended, so a struggling team gets weaker again. St. Louis have not lost in five and sit sixth in the West. They have won 10 of their last 20 and let in just over a goal a game. Sporting are much better at their own ground than on the road, so they should get on the board. St. Louis also go quieter away, scoring just over a goal a game on their travels. That points to a 1-2, with Sporting scoring and St. Louis winning it by a goal. The catch is the history between these two. The last 11 meetings ended with 4 wins each and 3 ties, and those games averaged almost 4 goals. That kind of night can swing either way late on. St. Louis are also without Pompeu, Hiebert and McSorley, so their attack is not at full strength. We still want St. Louis to take the points.
