Sporting KC vs St. Louis City Prediction & Preview
Preview
Sunday's Major League Soccer fixture sees Sporting KC take on St. Louis City at Children's Mercy Park, with the home side looking to capitalize on their recent form. Peter Vermes' men have won three of their last five matches, taking 9 points from a possible 15, whereas John Hackworth's St. Louis City have struggled, winning just one of their last five and accumulating only 3 points.
In their previous encounter at Children's Mercy Park on April 21, 2024, the match ended in a thrilling 3-3 draw. Sporting KC will be looking to build on that performance, particularly considering their impressive home form, where they score an average of 2.5 goals per game and concede 1.5.
Sporting KC come into this match after a disappointing 2-1 loss away to Vancouver Whitecaps at BC Place Stadium, while St. Louis City were defeated 2-0 by Seattle Sounders at Lumen Field in their last outing. The hosts will be seeking to get back on track and take advantage of their home crowd.
St. Louis City's struggles on the road are evident, with an average of 1.33 goals scored per game away from home, while conceding a worrying 3.33 goals per match. This could play into Sporting KC's hands, who have been clinical in front of goal, scoring an average of 1.8 goals per game.
Bet
Considering the recent form and stats, I would recommend a Home Win for Sporting KC at odds of 1.95. The hosts' strong home record, combined with St. Louis City's struggles on the road, make this a favorable bet. With Sporting KC scoring an average of 2.5 goals per game at home and St. Louis City conceding 3.33 away from home, this could be a high-scoring affair, but I believe Sporting KC have enough quality to take all three points.
