St. Louis City SC vs Minnesota United: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

St. Louis City SC host Minnesota United at CITYPARK on Saturday, September 12 (8:30 PM ET / 7:30 PM CT / 5:30 PM PT).

There are no fresh absences flagged for either side heading into this one, so St. Louis City SC should still lean on Simon Becher up top, the team’s leading scorer with 7 goals from 59 shots and 22 shots on target, alongside Daniel Edelman and Eduard Löwen, who have created 20 and 12 chances respectively this season. Minnesota United will look to Kelvin Yeboah, who leads the team with 11 goals and 24 shots on target, and Anthony Markanich Jr., who has created a team-high 24 chances to go with 7 goals of his own.

St. Louis City SC sit fifth in the Western Conference with 37 points from 23 games, comfortably in the playoff picture, and they’ll fancy their chances at Energizer Park against a Minnesota United side that sits 11th with 29 points and just shipped 5 goals in a loss at Portland last time out. Minnesota have scored goals all season but their defense carries a -three goal difference into this one, and if St. Louis City’s front line link up the way Becher and Edelman have done, this should stay tight for long stretches without being short of goals at either end.
