Los Angeles FC vs St. Louis City Prediction and Betting Tips

The action continues in MLS as Los Angeles FC and St. Louis City lock horns at the BMO Stadium on Sunday. Olof Mellberg’s visitors are looking for their first league win over LA after four previous failed attempts.

Los Angeles turned in a resilient display last weekend as they fought back from behind twice to salvage a 3-3 draw with Portland Timbers at Providence Park. That followed a hard-fought 2-1 victory over San Jose Earthquakes at the BMO Stadium on April 13, which snapped a two-game losing run.

Los Angeles have 13 points from nine matches to sit seventh in the Western Conference, level on points with eighth-placed Seattle Sounders.

Meanwhile, St. Louis City failed to find their feet last out in a goalless draw with Vancouver Whitecaps last Sunday. Mellberg’s men have gone five games without a win, losing four, since a 1-0 victory over Seattle Sounders in March.

With nine points from as many matches, St. Louis are 13th in the West but could move level with ninth-placed Real Salt Lake with a win.

It has been a difficult start to the campaign for St. Louis, who have managed just one point from their last five matches. Los Angeles, meanwhile, have made their home turf a fortress this season, so they should come away with all three points.
