St. Louis City SC vs LA Galaxy: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

St. Louis City SC host LA Galaxy at CITYPARK on Sunday, October 11 (7:00 PM ET / 6:00 PM CT / 4:00 PM PT).

St. Louis City SC and LA Galaxy both check in with no fitness concerns to speak of ahead of this one. Simon Becher leads the line for the hosts, the striker already up to 9 goals and 22 chances created this season, with Daniel Edelman and Tomas Totland expected to supply the final ball from midfield. LA Galaxy will lean on Marco Reus through the center of the park — the midfielder has produced 7 goals and 61 chances created — while João Klauss and Joseph Paintsil carry the attacking threat, with 7 and 5 goals respectively this season.

Second in the Western Conference with 47 points from 27 games, St. Louis City SC remain firmly in the mix for a top playoff seed, and the recent home form backs that up — W D W W W across the last five, including a 3-0 win away at New York Red Bulls. LA Galaxy sit ninth in the West on 36 points, still inside the playoff picture but with far less margin for error, and a mixed run of W L D W W suggests a team capable of scoring goals but just as likely to concede them. Expect chances at both ends at Energizer Park, with Becher’s 9 goals this season the standout individual threat and St. Louis City SC’s superior conference position the difference-maker.
