FC Dallas vs St. Louis City Match Prediction 20 July 2025

Both teams have been woeful all season and this is not looking good for them either. While they are both struggling at the bottom of the table with no wins in recent games, it is difficult to confidently back an outright winner as neither side have been promising. While they both avoided a defeat in their respective last league games, I still believe they will struggle in defense and I believe this will be a game where both teams will go head to head. At home, I feel the FC Dallas side should have the upper hand, and the bookies are also slightly leaning towards them. Still, St. Louis City can not be written off as they should pose a lot of attacking threat, but the home turf advantage should be the difference looking at the pattern this fixture has ended in the past.
