Key Stats
- We have a stalemate in the head-to-head department, as the three official games between the two teams resulted in one victory for the Rapids, one for St. Louis City, and one draw.
- 10 of St. Louis City’s games this season resulted in ties.
- We saw goals galore in two of St. Louis City’s last three games.
Correct score prediction: Colorado Rapids 1-1 St. Louis City
The only official game between the two teams at DSG Park ended in a 1-1 tie. Seeing as St. Louis City is the team with the highest number of draws in 2024, we believe that a 1-1 draw on the 8th of July should be the case.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Armas has the knowledge to achieve something ambitious
- HOME: -138 – 56.7%
- DRAW: +305 – 23.3%
- AWAY: +355 – 20.0%
*These Colorado Rapids vs St. Louis City odds are subject to change
Colorado Rapids’ odds are priced at -138, giving coach Chris Armas’ players a massive 56.7% win probability ahead of the kick-off. In the meantime, coach Bradley Carnell’s team is sharing the spoils left and right, and we believe a tie at +305 isn’t as ludicrous as one might initially think. The chances of that happening are estimated at approximately 23.3%.

St. Louis City team news and form: Attacking difficulties burden Bradley Carnell
St. Louis City’s manager won’t be able to count on three of his key attacking players – Rasmus Alm, Celio Pompeu, and Tomas Ostrak. All three are injured and this will give the substitutes hope to get some more minutes among the starters.
Predicted lineup: Burki (GK), Totland, Durkin, Parker, Reid, Blom, Klein, Lowen, Vassilev, Borisson & Klauss

Player to watch: Indiana Vassilev
As we mentioned earlier in our Colorado Rapids vs St. Louis City predictions, many of Carnell’s key attacking players are injured. Understandably, this makes Vassilev a prime candidate for a starter’s position. Vassilev already scored three goals and supplied teammates with four valuable assists this season.
Second player to watch: Joao Klauss
We have the Brazilian goalscorer down as the second player to watch, as he is a force to be reckoned with. So far, he found the net on only five occasions but we know he can do better than that.
