St. Louis CITY SC vs. Seattle Sounders picks and predictions
Prediction
St. Louis CITY SC 1, Seattle Sounders 1
Moneyline (ML)
SPRINKLE DRAW (+250).
Both teams have drawn frequently over the last few weeks. St. Louis has drawn 3 of its last 6 games and 1 of its last 2 home matches.
It has the better roster, but it also is locked into the top seed and may not give its stars a full 90 minutes. Seattle has drawn 5 of its last 8 games and 6 of its last 10. It has drawn 2 of its last 3 road matches.
Couple both trends and back DRAW (+250).
Over/Under (O/U)
BET UNDER 2.5 (+100).
Seattle has gone Under this total in 3 of its last 5 games. It has been held scoreless in 2 of its last 3 and has had under 1.5 expected goals in 4 of its last 5 matches.
For a wider frame, the Sounders have gone Under in 7 of their last 11 matches. St. Louis has gone Under in 2 of its last 5 but has been held scoreless in 2 of its last 4.
Given the Sounders’ style of play and CITY’s potential lack in urgency, take UNDER 2.5 (+100).
