Colorado Rapids vs St. Louis City Prediction & Betting Tips (8 July)

In what is becoming an extremely competitive race for promotion, a run of eight wins in nine games has catapulted Colorado Rapids to the top of the MLS standings, with the current coach charges emerging victorious from all five of their home matches during this period. St. Louis City, meanwhile, have lost 10 times in 13 third-tier trips this season.

Colorado Rapids have featured ten times during the current campaign, with every single one of these fixtures serving up under 3.5 goals, so there is every reason to expect this pattern to continue. As for high-flying St. Louis City, they have now been involved in 13 top-flight matches on the spin containing three goals or fewer, so more of the same is expected when the two teams collide.

At least one of the two keepers has emerged with a clean sheet from 11 of the most recent 16 Colorado Rapids matches on their own patch in the MLS, so thrills and spills have been few and far between. Given that seven of the previous ten St. Louis City away games at this level have followed the same pattern, any deviation from this script would come as a shock.
