Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson backs Simon Becher to fire St. Louis City to another win.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Simon Becher to score anytime | 6/5 (Sky Bet) | Simon Becher has eight MLS goals this season, making him St. Louis City’s top scorer, and he has found the net in four of their last six games, against Houston, Dallas, Vancouver and Toronto. He has also scored away at LA Galaxy, San Jose and Vancouver, so he travels well. St. Louis have scored in each of their last 16 league games, and the Red Bulls have won just one of their last six at home. Sky Bet’s 6/5 is a fair price for the most reliable finisher in an attack that keeps delivering. |
| New York Red Bulls 1-2 St. Louis City | 8/1 (BoyleSports) | St. Louis City are unbeaten in 16 MLS games since losing 2-0 at Austin on 3 May, and they are unbeaten in their last six away games, winning three of them 3-1. Both teams have scored in nine of their last ten matches. The Red Bulls have scored in 19 of their 26 league games and arrive on the back of two 1-0 away wins, so they should carry a threat at home, but St. Louis are fifth in the West and the stronger side. BoyleSports’ 8/1 on a 2-1 away win is a big price for a scoreline that fits both teams’ form. |

How New York Red Bulls go into the game
The Red Bulls are eighth in the Eastern Conference and arrive on the back of consecutive 1-0 away wins, at Columbus Crew and New York City, which were their first clean sheets since a 0-0 draw in Seattle on 6 September.
Home form is the worry. They have won just one of their last six games in front of their own fans, losing 3-1 to Philadelphia and 1-0 to Nashville in that run, and have lost five of their 12 home league games this season. Julian Hall leads their scoring with 10 MLS goals.
How St. Louis City go into the game
St. Louis City are fifth in the Western Conference and unbeaten in 16 MLS games since a 2-0 defeat at Austin on 3 May, winning ten and drawing six of them.
They have scored in every one of those games and are unbeaten in their last six on the road, winning 3-1 at LA Galaxy, San Jose and Vancouver. Simon Becher has eight league goals and Marcel Hartel six, while Rafael Navarro has four, all in back-to-back games against Portland and Minnesota earlier this month.
New York Red Bulls vs St. Louis City head-to-head
These sides play in different conferences and have not met in MLS this season, so there is little recent history to go on. Form is the better guide, and it favours the visitors.
