St. Louis City SC vs FC Dallas Prediction

St. Louis City SC sit sixth and FC Dallas fifth, both on 33 points and both firmly in the Western Conference playoff picture, so there’s little to separate these sides on paper. Musa will get his chances for Dallas given his 16 goals this season, but St. Louis City SC’s run of 5 unbeaten (W D W D W) and Becher’s 5 goals up top should be enough at Energizer Park. We’re backing a 2-1 St. Louis City SC win, with goals at both ends.
