Saint Louis City vs Club America Prediction and Betting Tips

Saint Louis City host Club America at the Citypark on Thursday (July 27) in the 2023 Leagues Cup.

The hosts have had a largely solid Major League Soccer campaign but lost their opening Leagues Cup game on Monday. St. Louis lost 2-1 to Columbus Crew, finding themselves two goals down at the half-hour mark before halving the deficit late on, thanks to own goal.

St. Louis are rock-bottom in their group with no points. Another defeat will mark the end of their Leagues Cup campaign, while a draw could also prove detrimental to their chances of advancing to the knockouts.

America, meanwhile, have had mixed results recently but will hope for better luck in the Leagues Cup. They picked up their first league win of the season last time out, beating Puebla 3-0, with three different players, including former Villarreal man Leonardo Suarez, scoring.
