Saint Louis City SC vs San Diego FC Best odds and tips

Saint Louis City SC have been poor in 2025, and sit 25th in the USA MLS 2025 table with 10 points from 11 games. Olof Mellberg, who took charge on the 1st of January 2025, is yet to see his team click into gear, and a winless run of 5 games (D2, L3) has seen the club slide down the table. San Diego FC have had a much stronger campaign so far, sitting 9th in the USA MLS 2025 with 17 points from 11 games. Mikey Varas’ team, who took charge in September 2024, have been in mixed form of late, but their last result was a 5-0 thumping of FC Dallas at home, a response to their 3-1 defeat at Real Salt Lake.

San Diego FC have an exciting attacking style, transitioning quickly and playing direct football with the pace and movement of their wingers, such as Hirving Lozano. Saint Louis City SC have a less well-documented tactical approach, but have been solid at home, conceding just 0.60 goals per game (3 goals in 5 games). San Diego FC’s away form has been poor in the USA MLS 2025, with 2 defeats and no wins or draws in their last 2 games. However, their 0-0 draw against Saint Louis City SC in San Diego 2 months ago is still fresh in the memory.

San Diego FC have conceded 1.80 goals per game on their travels in the USA MLS 2025, letting in 9 goals in 5 games. Saint Louis City have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their 5 home games in the USA MLS 2025, so both teams will be confident of getting something from this game. The odds are equal for this match at 2.50, and I think that’s a fair price given both teams’ inconsistent form and the fact that Saint Louis City are the more out of form of the two. Both teams to score could be a good alternative play given San Diego’s recent attacking form.
