Club America vs St. Louis City Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Leagues Cup 2024

Both teams will fight for one of the last eight spots in the Leagues Cup.

We think that this week’s match between Club America and St. Louis City will be historic. We think it will go very well. After all, Club America shocked the football world with their 1-0 win against Premier League giants Aston Villa during the pre-season.

With two wins and two losses in their first four Liga MX games, Henry Martín and his teammates commenced on a mediocre start but with an incredible performance in the Leagues Cup. They bounced back in the Leagues Cup round of 32 with a narrow 2-1 win against Atlas. They must also consider themselves favourites versus St. Louis City.

St. Louis on the other hand had a mixed run during the pre-season. They will have to step up on one of their biggest game when they take on Club America in the Leagues Cup. They ousted Portland comfortably 3-1 and will be aiming to replicate a similar performance against America.

Players to watch

Henry Martin (Club America)

Henry Martin has always been influential in front of the goal. The striker remains the most important player for the team. His ability to remain vigilant in the opposition box makes him one of the elite strikers in the competition.

Eduard Lowen (St. Louis)

Eduard Lowen may not get deserved praise for his performance but his addition to the team adds an extra pair of defence at the back. He always delivers top performance against any side. He brings a great balance between attack and defence.
