Top St Louis City vs Charlotte Prediction for MLS
The new kid on the block, St Louis City, hosts the previous newcomers, Charlotte, on the 5th of March.
Contents
Draw
Despite St Louis City winning in their first-ever MLS game on the 26th of February, we feel that their performance was a fluke and that the game should’ve ended with a 3-3 draw as Austin definitely had good goalscoring opportunities. Charlotte now with one MLS season under their belt is a team that knows how to conduct business in these away games. We’re confident that the visitors will be able to get at least a point away from St Louis City on Sunday.
Over 2.5 Goals
If St Louis City’s opening MLS game was any indication, we expect the game on the 5th of March to end with plenty of goals. The match Q2 Stadium between Austin and St Louis City ended with a thrifty 2-3 win for the newly-established club. A whopping 32 shots at target were made in that game, 11 of which were on target. We could’ve easily seen more goals and we’re convinced that our St Louis City vs Charlotte prediction would be your best MLS bet this week.

Predicted Lineups, Team News, and Last Result
St Louis City
St Louis City’s fans at Q2 Stadium on the 26th of February could not have imagined a better outcome. Their club pipped a heavyweight like Austin 2-3 and it’s now time for the players to kick into a higher gear and secure their good performance in the first match with a good display over Charlotte. Our key St Louis City vs Charlotte predictions anticipate the two teams will share the spoils but if we see St Louis City as lethal as last week, we just might have another massive upset on Sunday.
Predicted lineup – Burki (GK), Nelson, Parker, Hiebert, Nerwinski, Lowen, Blom, Stroud, Ostrak, Alm & Klauss
Charlotte
The game at Bank of America Stadium on the 26th of February was one of the unluckiest matches we’ve seen this week. The two teams were extremely close in all key statistics – both teams had 15 shots at target and five shots on target with Charlotte having a slight edge in the ball possession department at 55%. However, after 90 minutes of soccer, the result on the scoreboard was 0-1 in favor of New England Revolution and that’s what counts in soccer.
Predicted lineup – Sisniega (GK), Mora, Malanda, Tuiloma, Byrne, Swiderski, Bronico, Westwood, Jozwiak, Gaines & Copetti

Player to Watch: Pablo Sisniega
Despite Charlotte’s loss on matchday 1, Pablo Sisniega was a pleasant surprise. We already knew he’s a top-class goalkeeper but denying New England Revolution of more goals was impressive as the visitors at the Bank of America Stadium had plenty of good goalscoring opportunities. Pablo Sisniega will be the player to watch on Sunday and will try to keep our St Louis City vs Charlotte predictions safe with his catlike reflexes.
