St. Louis City SC will face Los Angeles FC on Saturday. St. Louis City SC have struggled for form in recent MLS action. In their last six league matches they managed only one win (3-1 at home vs Nashville on Aug 9), one draw (1-1 at FC Dallas on Sep 6), and four losses (including 0-2 at Montréal, 1-3 at Houston, 2-3 at home vs Vancouver, and 1-3 vs San Jose). In most of those games St. Louis scored but conceded more – for example, in three losses the team scored 2 or 1 goal but let in three. This suggests St. Louis has been competitive offensively but vulnerable in defense.
Their home form has not been significantly better, and they have fallen to teams lower in the standings (like Vancouver) as well as mid-table sides. In the standings, St. Louis City sits near the bottom (around 13th in the West) with a modest points tally. In contrast, Los Angeles FC are in strong form and much higher in the table (around 4th in the West). LAFC have won three of their last four league games (beating San Jose 4-2, Real Salt Lake twice 4-1 and 4-1) and drew the other (1-1 vs FC Dallas).
In those wins LAFC scored four goals each time, demonstrating an explosive offense, while conceding only one goal per game. LAFC's home and away performances have been solid, and their point total is well above St. Louis City's. In sum, LAFC arrive as clear favorites, with much stronger recent results and offense.

Our Saint Louis City SC vs Los Angeles FC Prediction
St. Louis City's leading scorers have been striker João Klauss and midfielder Marcel Hartel. Klauss has 9 goals this season and often plays off Hartel. Hartel himself has 7 league goals and several assists; he scored in back-to-back games recently and has been the team's chief creator. Hartel contributed a left-footed shot goal against San Jose (Sep 20) and another goal in a win over Portland earlier, showing he poses a threat late into matches.
Klauss has also provided key assists in recent games. However, Los Angeles FC boast an even more dangerous attacking duo. Designated player Denis Bouanga is the runaway top scorer with 22 goals, including a hat-trick in the last match, and is pacing to win the Golden Boot. Bouanga is currently on an 8-goal streak over three games. His teammate Son Heung-min (in his first MLS season) has also been outstanding, with 6 goals in six weeks, including a hat-trick in mid-September. Together Bouanga and Son have combined for every LAFC goal in recent wins, illustrating how lethal their partnership is.
With LAFC's forwards firing on all cylinders and St. Louis having defensive frailties, Los Angeles FC are expected to dominate. The likely outcome is a comfortable LAFC win; for example, a 3-1 or 3-0 scoreline in favor of LAFC reflects their superior firepower and form. LAFC's balanced team and scoring form make them heavily favored to win this matchup. Our prediction for St. Louis City SC vs Los Angeles FC: LAFC to win.
