St Louis City/St Louis City
We have no clue what the bookies are thinking providing us with these sensational odds for our Colorado Rapids vs St. Louis City predictions. Sure, the latter are a newly established side but haven’t they been crushing it in MLS since the start of the season?
Bradley Carnell’s boys are sitting comfortably at the top of the Western Conference with a one-point lead over 2022 MLS champs Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Colorado Rapids are down 11th spot with barely one victory in their eight league games.
Furthermore, Colorado Rapids’ manager will be deprived of a couple of his best men for the job on Sunday. Star defenders Andreas Maxso and Aboubacar Keita are out with injuries. Team captain Jack Price has an Achilles tendon problem while up-and-coming right-wing Braian Galvan sustained a groin injury a couple of weeks ago.
Over 1.5 St Louis City Goals
We’ll preface this Colorado Rapids vs St. Louis City prediction by saying that the visitors’ attacking might is simply frightening. It’s St. Louis City’s debut season, they weren’t supposed to cruise to the title on their first try yet here we are.
Bradley Carnell’s boys bagged 20 goals in eight MLS games. That’s way more than any MLS team in general. The only side that comes remotely close to St. Louis City’s staggering tally are Seattle Sounders who have 16 goals to their name.

Colorado Rapids odds: +105 – 49.0%
Draw odds: +265 – 27.0%
St Louis City odds: +245 – 24.0%
It seems the bookies haven’t learned their lesson. You simply do not underestimate St Louis City who, according to the bookmakers, are underdogs with a measly 24.0% likelihood of securing three points. Colorado Rapids are the expected winners with a shocking 49.0% win probability at +105 but we simply can’t see this happening on Sunday.
Colorado Rapids vs St Louis City Lineups & Team News
Colorado Rapids
While St. Louis City have been scoring goal after goal in the 2023 MLS campaign, Colorado Rapids are on the other extreme. Coach Robin Fraser’s boys barely scored five goals in eight official MLS games. That’s a quarter of St. Louis City’s goals and we’re sure that the pressure to succeed will make them prone to errors.
Predicted lineup – Yarbrough (GK), Abubakar, Rosenberry, Wilson, Nicholson, Acosta, Ronan, Beitashour, Rubio, Max & Lewis
St Louis City
With goalscorer-in-chief Joao Klauss leading St. Louis City’s charge against Colorado Rapids, Bradley Carnell can rest easy knowing his team will score plenty of goals. Our Colorado Rapids vs St. Louis City predictions didn’t pop out of the blue. They are based on the fact that Bradley Carnell’s goalscoring machine just can’t stop scoring these days. With 20 goals to their name, St. Louis City’s players certainly deserve all the praise coming their way and we can’t wait to see how well they’ll cope against their rivals on Sunday.
Predicted lineup – Burki (GK), Nelson, Parker, Hiebert, Nerwinski, Stroud, Vassilev, Loewn, Alm, Klauss & Gioacchini
Starting Lineups
Colorado Rapids
St. Louis City SC
*Starting lineups are usually announced 1hr before the kick-off
Player to Watch: Joao Klauss
At the beginning of the season, no one even mentioned Joao Klauss in the top goalscorer race. However, with five goals to his name, the Brazilian is proving the bookies wrong. He scored 25% of St. Louis City goals and we’re sure that as long as he’s on the pitch on Sunday, he has the opportunity to cause damage to Colorado Rapids.
