Dallas vs St Louis City Predictions, Picks, and Betting Lines

Sunday’s MLS showdown at Toyota Stadium between Dallas and St. Louis City will be the main event on matchday 11. Make sure to get the full scoop on our Dallas vs St. Louis City betting tips before making any rash decisions.

BTTS

Let’s preface this Dallas vs St. Louis City prediction by saying that not one of St. Louis City’s last four games ended with either Bradley Carnell’s boys or their rivals missing the chance to score. First, we had a fascinating 5-1 St. Louis City win over Cincinnati on the 16^th of April, then we saw a rather disappointing 1-1 tie with Colorado Rapids, and in the last MLS fixture, Bradley Carnell’s players got pipped 1-2 by a superior Portland Timbers. Even the U.S. Open Cup clash versus Union Omaha ended 5-1 in favor of St. Louis City.

Draw or St Louis City

Even with Joao Klauss out of the starting XI for coach Bradley Carnell, we still fancy St. Louis City’s chances. Sure, most teams find it difficult to score against Dallas but St. Louis City are no ordinary team. Being a newly promoted team has its advantages one of which undoubtedly is the fact that no one takes you seriously.

St. Louis City got underestimated too frequently in the 2023 MLS campaign and plenty of teams paid a hefty price. The club is in 2^nd place and we’re sure an ambitious manager such as Carnell would like to remain in the title fight.

Dallas odds: -120 – 53.0%

Draw odds: +275 – 25.0%

St Louis City odds: +315 – 22.0%

It’s not a surprise that St. Louis City are the underdogs at +315 (22.0%). Their key man in the attack is injured and with Joao Klauss out of the picture, we can expect a draw at +275. However, bear in mind that Dallas are the expected winners at -120 as they have a solid 53.0% win probability ahead of Sunday’s game.

Player to Watch: Jared Stroud

Now that the news is confirmed and Joao Klauss is out with a knee injury for the game on the 7^th of May, it’s up to Jared Stroud to pick up the slack. He’s the 2^nd-best goalscorer at coach Bradley Carnell’s disposal and as such, he’ll have to be at his lethal best if St. Louis City are to salvage anything from Sunday’s clash.

Jared Stroud scored three goals and provided teammates with two assists this season so we fully expect his high-flying momentum to give St. Louis City a lifeline on Sunday.
