Saint Louis is temporarily at the top of the Western Conference after the 2-1 victory over San Jose in the last round. With 32 points from 19 games, they need to cheer for a stumbling block by LAFC, which has the same amount of points, but one game less.
Colorado, the bottom of the Western Conference, is desperate to win again: they have won just two games in 19 games played. Without winning for five games, this match is extremely important for them, seeking to break the negative sequence of defeats.
St. Louis vs. Colorado Rapids will be one of the great matches of this weekend.

Saturday, July 1st – 07:30 pm ET at CITY PARK

Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on St. Louis?
Saint Louis is the big MLS sensation this season. Newcomers to the American League, have surprised everyone with their ability to face the most traditional teams in the country, even with a squad with little experience in these competitions.
German Eduard Lowen is the highlight of the rookies, contributing eight goals so far: 5 goals and 3 assists. Nicholas Gioacchini is the team’s top scorer with 8 goals.
After beating San Jose, confidence must have returned to them, who had lost two games in a row. Facing a fragile opponent, betting on St. Louis is a great option to get the guess right.
Why Bet on Colorado?
Colorado has not won for 8 games and not even the recent changes, promoted by coach Robin Fraser, are generating results. There are three games without scoring a single goal, Colorado has found it very difficult to threaten the opposing defense, since its attackers lack the confidence to realize even the easiest opportunities.
Frenchman Kevin Cabral, the main striker of the team, scored two goals so far, which represents 14% of the goals scored in the current season. The Rapids will need their speed to threaten the Saint Louis defense in their next game.
Final Betting Analysis: St. Louis vs. Colorado
We have two teams with different realities in this game. One is the new franchise of the MLS, while the other is a traditional team. While the rookies are having a spectacular debut, the experienced ones are having a season to forget. The Rapids had their ups-and-downs, but have never been a powerhouse, and never won the MLS. On their side, St. Louis wants to be a historic debutant and wants to have similar outings to the ones of Atlanta United, which surprised everyone with the lethal duet of Martínez and Almirón.
The result is simple. St. Louis is not the steamroller of the first games, but they are a much better team currently. Go for a victory for the newcomers at home.
If you put $100 into Saint Louis’ win, you could get $90 back for a total payout of $190.
