Betting on St. Louis City SC
St. Louis City SC’s debut season in the MLS got off to a promising start as they secured a thrilling 3-2 victory over Austin FC in a match that had everything. Bradley Carnell’s team was able to mark their first league game with a win, a moment that they will surely always remember.
Despite trailing 2-1 until the 78th minute, Jared Stroud’s equalizer and Joao Klauss’ historic winner in the 86th minute earned them their first three points of the season.
With a home game up next, St. Louis City SC’s spirits will be high as they look to build on their momentum. After waiting for three years to compete at this level, their recent victory has undoubtedly boosted their confidence as they aim for a second consecutive win. However, they will need to tighten up their defense after showing some signs of chaos in the previous match. The debut nerves were evident as they conceded the second goal in the second half and came close to conceding a third.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Roman Burki; Jakob Nerwinski, Tim Parker, Kyle Hiebert, John Nelson; Indiana Vassilev, Eduard Lowen; Rasmus Alm, Tomas Ostark, Jared Stroud; Joao Klauss.
Betting on Charlotte FC
Charlotte FC’s 2023 campaign did not get off to the greatest of starts as they were defeated by the New England Revolution (1-0). It is important to note that they did not surrender the game-winning goal until the 89th minute of the contest, proving that they were not outplayed. Instead, lapses in their defense cost them the victory.
They controlled the majority of the gane and had numerous scoring opportunities, but they fell short. Although they had 15 attempts on goal, four of which were on New England’s goal, it was not their day to score.
As they have never played there, the ground they will be playing on is a true unknown, but a hostile atmosphere is anticipated and they do not want to go down in history as the first defeated team in St. Louis.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Pablo Sisniega; Nathan Byrne, Adilson Malanda, Bill Tuiloma, Joseph Mora; Karol Swiderski, Brandt Bronico, Ashley Westwood; Orrin McKinzie Gaines, Enzo Copetti, Kamil Jozwiak.
JefeBet Prediction
Regardless of the outcome, this match is already historic as St Louis makes its home debut in the MLS, a moment that is sure to motivate both fans and players alike.
Based on their impressive attacking display in their first game, it is likely that St Louis FC will continue to play an attacking style of football in their home debut. As such, it may be wise to bet on them winning by a two-goal margin, with Unibet offering attractive odds of +155.
Predictions: St. Louis 2-0 Charlotte.
