St. Louis City vs FC Dallas Prediction: St. Louis have no excuses.

St. Louis City hosts FC Dallas at the Citypark for the first time this season. Both teams could really use a good 3 points in this game after a run of poor results in their previous games.

St. Louis City's last 5 league results were: WDDDL and FC Dallas' last 5 were: WLLLL.

And according to the table, St. Louis City are number 10 on the western conference table with 7 points in 6 games while FC Dallas are 12th with 3 points in 5 games. 

St. Louis City are not satisfied with their start to the season. They are a club with big ambitions and the least of them is to qualify for the playoffs. And although the end of the season is still far away, such a poor start can only make things difficult for St. Louis City later on. Their last 4 games ended in 3 draws and 1 defeat. The most recent game against Real Salt Lake was their first and only defeat this season.

St. Louis played away from home in the game against Salt Lake and they lost 3-1 at the end. After Indiana Vassilev handed St. Louis the lead in just 3 minutes, they held onto the lead until the 70th minute when they conceded the equalizer. After that, they conceded 2 more goals in the 84tb and 91st minute to end the game in a shocking defeat. According to stats, St. Louis had 44% possession, 2 shots on target and 4 corners. And they managed to hit the woodwork once during the game.

St. Louis needs a response and only a win would make sense for this team right now.

Dallas has been shocking since game 2 of the campaign. They got their only win against San Jose Earthquakes on the opening day of the season, but since then they have suffered 4 consecutive defeats until now. Their last match against Austin FC was their latest defeat.

FC Dallas traveled to face Austin at the Q2 Stadium last week and they were defeated 2-1 at the end of the game. Dallas was first to go ahead in the 51st minute through Eugene Ansah, but they were back to square one 4 minutes later after conceding the equalizer. And finally in the 70th minute, they conceded a second time and went on to lose the game 2-1 at the end. According to stats, FC Dallas had 33% possession, 4 shots on target and 2 corner kicks. They created 0 big chances throughout the game.

This may be the right time for a critical change in the management style of the club as they are clearly not getting out of the poor form anytime soon.

According to the h2h, there's been only 2 games played between St. Louis City and FC Dallas in the past. Both clubs won 1 game each of the 2 games.

It's healthier to stick to St. Louis City in this one. Their current form doesn't make them a confident choice but FC Dallas are even further from a decent team at the moment and beating an anxious St. Louis City team is not happening.
