Prediction Dallas vs St. Louis City season – Betting Tips for Major League Soccer on 20/07/2025

Matchup Overview

This exciting clash in the Major League Soccer is set to unfold at the Minato Soccer Stadium in Nagoya, Japan, where Dallas will host St. Louis City. With both teams struggling for consistency in the regular season, this match presents a crucial opportunity to turn their fortunes around. Scheduled for July 20, 2025, at 00:30 UTC, fans across the globe are eager to see which side will emerge victorious.

Dallas: Seeking Redemption

Dallas enters this match boasting a record of 5 wins, 7 draws, and 10 losses from their 22 matches in the season, placing them 13th in their group. With 22 points, their performance has left much to be desired, having scored only 29 goals while conceding 41. Recent form shows Dallas has drawn their last match against the SJ Earthquakes, a scoreline of 2-2, but prior to that, they faced back-to-back defeats against formidable opponents, including a 2-0 loss to Los Angeles FC and a disappointing 1-2 result at home against Minnesota United.

Dallas’s home advantage may play a vital role. The crucial stat here is that Dallas has seen a "Both Teams to Score" (BTTS) occurrence in 46.15% of their home matches, underlining their defensive frailties. With an average of 10.68 shots per game but only 87 shots on target, they will need to convert chances effectively if they hope to secure a home win.

St. Louis City: On the Hunt

On the other side, St. Louis City has their own challenges, sitting just below Dallas in 14th place with 18 points from the same number of matches. They have managed only 4 wins, but a recent win against the Portland Timbers (2-1) might just inject confidence into the squad after a string of losses. Their away record features a struggle to find the net consistently, but they have seen a slightly higher "Both Teams to Score" rate of 63.64% in away matches.

Despite their woeful overall record, the attacking numbers paint a positive picture for St. Louis. They have scored 23 goals and will be looking to take advantage of a Dallas backline that has conceded 18 goals at home. St. Louis needs to capitalize on their opportunities and exhibit resilience, particularly with their away form.

Betting Suggestions

As we approach the match, the bookmakers have installed Dallas as the favorites with odds of 2.05 for a home win, while St. Louis City stands at 3.50 for an away win. Given that both teams have struggled recently and considering their historical matchup with Dallas winning the last encounter 2-0, a draw is also a plausible outcome at odds of 3.60.

For betting tips, we recommend considering a bet on "Both Teams to Score," especially given both sides’ recent scoring patterns. With Dallas needing to beat the defensive curse and St. Louis eager to build on recent momentum, expect a high-paced match with goal-scoring opportunities aplenty.
