FC Dallas vs St Louis City Predictions

Dallas can prey on visitors’ struggles

FC Dallas should be backed to get a home win over St Louis, with the visitors having lost eight times in their last nine away games in MLS.

St Louis are just ahead of FC Dallas in the standings, but both teams are struggling this season. The hosts have recorded five wins, six draws and ten losses so far, while St Louis have won four times, with six draws and 12 defeats.

FC Dallas have kept three shutouts in the last four MLS meetings with St Louis, while the visitors have lost eight times in their last nine away games in the league.

St Louis are without a win in any of their last nine MLS away games, and have lost the last six of those. St Louis have been disappointing in front of goal away from home this season, scoring just nine goals in 11 games – an average of 0.82 goals a game on the road.

The visitors’ defence has been struggling, with St Louis on a run of nine MLS away days without recording a shutout.

A 1-0 home success for FC Dallas appeals in the correct-score market. There have been fewer than three goals in three of the last four MLS clashes between these sides and St Louis have gone down by a single goal eight times in MLS this season.
