St Louis City/St Louis City
The two teams have never played against each other. This much is true. But it doesn’t seem like Bradley Carnell’s boys care that much about whom they face in MLS this season. They have been cruising to success in the 2023 MLS campaign and we’re sure that with the home-field support at CITYPARK behind them, St. Louis City can’t miss this golden opportunity.
Sure, St. Louis City have the lowest attendance rate but to win over the hearts of the fans, you must first give them a reason. And Bradley Carnell is quite aware of what his team has to do against Portland Timbers.
Over 3.5 Goals
Our second St. Louis City vs Portland Timbers prediction is in favor of a glamorous event at CITYPARK on Sunday. The two teams collide on the 30th of April in hopes of three points. But to win points, you must first risk it.
Defensive and counter-attacking soccer is not what Bradley Carnell’s credo is about. As we saw from the start of the season, St. Louis City have been practicing a style similar to Jurgen Klopp’s “heavy-metal” soccer.
St. Louis City have a strong argument with their 21 goals scored in only nine official MLS games. Meanwhile, the Timbers showed inconsistency and the back and are surely in for a beating on Sunday.

St. Louis City odds: -120 – 53.0%
Draw odds: +275 – 25.0%
Portland Timbers odds: +320 – 22.0%
Seeing as Bradley Carnell’s boys are at the top of the table in the Western Conference, it’s no wonder why St. Louis City are the bookies’ expected winners at -120 (53.0%). We say – it’s a confident St. Louis City win on Sunday as Portland Timbers’ 22.0% chance of winning is simply unrealistic given the state of the team.
St Louis City vs Portland Timbers Lineups & Team News
St Louis City
Even St. Louis City’s substitutes proved their worth this week. The U.S. Open Cup match versus Union Omaha ended with a brutal 5-1 win for St. Louis City that the visitors should be grateful for. After all, Bradley Carnell’s boys had a whopping 23 shots at target and the result on the scoreboard could’ve easily reached double digits.
Predicted lineup – Burki (GK), Nelson, Hiebert, Parker, Nerwinski, Lowen, Vassilev, Stroud, Ostrak, Alm & Gioacchini
Portland Timbers
With two victories, two draws, and five losses this season, we feel sorry for Portland Timbers’ fans. They were vocal about their concerns in the last MLS clash and rightfully so. The Timbers were wasteful up front and miss too many opportunities to score. As a result, Cincinnati rightfully defeated them 2-1 at TQL Stadium.
Predicted lineup – Ivacic (GK), Bravo, McGraw, Zuparic, Mosquera, Asprilla, Chara, Ayala, Moreno, Evander & Boli

Player to Watch: Joao Klauss
If you were to ask us at the beginning of the season whether or not Joao Klauss will be among the top finishers in MLS two months into the season, we would’ve certainly said ‘no’. However, things have changed, and not only is Joao Klauss in 4th place on MLS’ goalscoring charts with five goals to his name, but we expect him to hammer away against Portland Timbers and even catch up to San Jose Earthquakes’ Cristian Espinoza.
