St. Louis City vs LA Galaxy Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | MLS 2024

LA Galaxy are first in the Western Conference.

St. Louis City have always been known for their inconsistent play, which is seen in their near bottom-of-the-barrel standing in the MLS Western Conference. They have given up goals in each of their last nine games, demonstrating their obvious defensive weaknesses. Under duress, their framework frequently crumbles.

St. Louis have experienced mixed results in the last five games, with two victories, a draw and two defeats. With occasional attentional slips and a tendency to give up leads, this combination shows that this team is capable of competing at best.

In the meantime, LA Galaxy are leading the Western Conference with an incredible season. Their four victories in their previous five games highlight their consistency and well-executed tactical approach.

Although LA Galaxy’s defence has been largely strong, there is a sense that when fast counterattacks are launched against them in games where they have dominated possession, their strong line may be severely exposed.

Players to watch

Simon Becher (St. Louis)

Simon Becher’s striking ability has helped St. Louis in finding the back of the net. The Canadian forward stands out when it comes to scoring goals. His clinical instinct in front of the goal has seen him regularly find the back of the net. He has been an integral player and will be in the lineup to cause issues to the LA Galaxy’s defence.

Marco Reus (LA Galaxy)

Marco Reus‘ signing will elevate LA Galaxy’s performance from the middle of the pitch. The former Borussia Dortmund star likes to operate from anywhere in the attacking line, but sometimes can also operate as an attacking midfielder. Now, the MLS leaders of the Western Conference have one of the players in their team to create havoc for the opposition.
