• Coach Frank Klopas has a perfect 2-0-0 record against St. Louis City.
• Louis City couldn’t score in one of their two games against Chicago Fire.
• Coach Carnell scored only one goal in 180 minutes of soccer against this opponent.

*These St. Louis City vs Chicago Fire odds are subject to change

Coach Bradley Carnell’s boys have the home-field advantage and are rightfully considered by the bookmakers as the expected winners, with a 50.0% shot at victory. However, we’d like to give the edge over to the visitors, as they seem to have a 26.7% chance of sharing the spoils with their Western Conference rivals on the 12^th of May.

St. Louis City team news and form: Carnell’s side is a tough nut to crack

Since the start of the season, St. Louis City have lost only one game. However, the team also won only twice. St. Louis City shared the spoils with their rivals in the remaining seven games, which is something we expect to see at CITYPARK on the 12^th of May as well.

Chicago Fire team news and form: Horrible attacking form from Chicago

Chicago Fire failed to score in four back-to-back Major League Soccer games. What are the chances coach Frank Klopas’ boys will fail to do so in a fifth consecutive game? We are sure they will try to put an end to this negative trend sooner rather than later.

Predicted lineup: Brady (GK), Arigoni, Pineda, Czhicos, Gutman, Gutierrez, Herbers, Acosta, Mueller, Koutsias & Cuypers

Player to watch: Joao Klauss

Brazilian goalscorer Joao Klauss is one of the leaders in St. Louis City’s locker room, so we understandably have him as the player to watch in our St. Louis City vs Chicago Fire prediction. Joao was injured for the better part of last season, but he still managed to become the top finisher for coach Bradley Carnell.

Klauss can do more

So far, Joao Klauss has only three goals and one assist this season. He is definitely underachieving, and we believe he will feel the pressure to succeed against Chicago Fire on the 12^th of May.
