St Louis vs Minnesota United: Prediction and odds on the Match on 27 July 2025
The lights are on for a tough Western Conference showdown at Energizer Park this Sunday, as St. Louis City SC, currently in 14th place in the league with 23 points, faces off against Minnesota United FC, currently 3rd, in the MLS table with 41 points. Minnesota is in the race for the top spot, just one point behind second-placed Vancouver and two behind leaders San Diego. The Loons are coming off a 1-1 draw against Portland Timbers, but they’re itching to get back to winning ways after two games without a victory. St. Louis, meanwhile, is in a tough spot near the bottom of the table, licking their wounds after a 3-0 loss to FC Dallas last week. With an 11-point gap to the playoff line, this match is a must-win for the home side to keep their playoff dreams alive.
This is the second clash between these teams this year, and Minnesota has bragging rights after a 3-1 win on May 17 at Allianz Field, where Tani Oluwaseyi and Kelvin Yeboah stole the show, outpacing St. Louis. I’m rooting for St. Louis to put up a fight at home, but Minnesota’s depth and superiority in this fixture make them the clear favorites. I expect the Loons to win it, though St. Louis might get a goal. Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

St. Louis City SC had a tough outing in their last league match, suffering a heavy defeat to FC Dallas. Despite creating chances and showing flashes of quality, they simply weren’t clinical in front of goal. Dallas made them pay for it — Ferreira opened the scoring in the 24th minute, and Musa sealed the win late on with two quick goals in the 80th and 88th minutes, respectively.
That loss was a tough blow, especially coming off a spirited 2-1 comeback win over Portland, where Hartel shone with a brilliant brace. But wins like that have been rare for St. Louis lately, with four solid defeats in their last five league games.
The team has had a rough run of form, picking up just one win in their last five league games, which has yielded only 3 points from a possible 15, with four losses dragging them down the table. Defensively, they've struggled all season — conceding 38 goals while scoring 23 — one of the worst records in the Western Conference. Overall, they've managed just 18 points from 23 matches played.
Still, there’s a glimmer of hope at home. CITYPARK has offered some comfort, with St. Louis winning three of their last seven MLS home matches. They'll head into their next home hopes with hopes of a positive outcome, knowing they need to be sharper, especially in front of goal.
St Louis Lineup
St Louis City: Possible Lineup
Manager David Critchley is still trying to adapt to the Apex League, as he has lost six games from the eight games coached. He needs to do something really fast about the team's downward performance. Klauss has been instrumental for St Louis, and he will lead his team upfront in this game. Critchley will continue to rotate the defense line until he eventually gets it right.
Players to watch out for - Joao Klauss
St. Louis has been led by Klauss. The striker is the side's top scorer with seven goals, three of those having been the crucial first of the match. The Brazilian forward has scored five goals in his last six matches, including a hat-trick against the Los Angeles Galaxy. He will be keen to improve that run against Minnesota.

Minnesota had a very bright start to the season with an unbeaten record in 8 of their first nine games in the league. Minnesota’s just a point shy of second-placed Vancouver and two behind leaders San Diego. They were unbeaten in their last five games before the narrow 0-1 defeat to LAFC, and they/ve struggled to get back to winning ways since then. It is now two games without a win for Minnesota United, which has its eyes on the top spot. In their last league game against Portland Timbers, Minnesota were a bit outplayed in terms of match possession and even big chances created, but they first went ahead in the game with a goal in the 78th minute from Markanich. Minnesota thought they had gotten away with the win until Fernandez equalized for Portland in the additional minutes of the second half. Minnesota needs to work on this, as they’ve been caught so deep in the dying minutes, with 10 of their 27 goals conceded so far coming in the last 15 minutes of the game.
It's a good run for Minnesota with three wins, a draw, and a loss in their last five league games. They have earned a total of 10 points from a possible 15 in their last five league games. Minnesota has only lost one of their last 12 away matches in all competitions, making this encounter a no-brainer for Minnesota.
Minnesota United is currently 3rd placed in the MLS Western Conference table with an overall league stats of 11 wins, 8 draws, and 5 losses from a total of 24 games played. Minnesota United has also scored 40 goals and conceded 27 goals in the MLS Western Conference league.
Minnesota United Lineup
Minnesota United: Possible Lineup
Minnesota United head coach Eric Ramsay has urged his team to show a "more clinical and ruthless" nature, starting this weekend against St. Louis City SC. Omir Fernandez netted a late-minute equaliser in their 1–1 draw against the Portland Timbers.
Players to watch out for - Anthony Markanich
Markanich has scored in each of his last three regular-season away matches. The 25-year-old scored the opener against the Timbers last time out.
🔖 Minnesota United Potential Starting Lineup (5-4-1)
St Clair—Gressel, Duggan, Diaz, Romero, Rosales —Pereyra, Harvey, Lod, Hlongwane, — Oluwaseyi
