My Prediction
Saint Louis City SC by 2
Here we have a game of David and Goliath proportions. The Sporting Kansas City boys have been struggling with a regular season record of a rather woeful 0-1-5. They've been about as lucky as a black cat on Friday the 13th. Their man between the sticks, Johnny Pulskamp – who hasn't been up to snuff with his rather meh rating of 6.48 - is going to have a tough time against the Saint Louis City SC sharpshooters.
Turning the gaze to Saint Louis City SC, those boys already have a few feathers in their cap with a record of 2-2-2. They also boast the likes of Roman Bürki, who has been one-man fortress with a sterling 9.00 rating.
Saint Louis City SC also has some veritable wizards on the pitch. Marcel Hartel, who has been having a ball with a 7.55 rating. His buddy on the field, Henry Kessler couldn't quite find the goal, but his passing is as accurate as a GPS with 94.9%. And let's not forget that goal-sneaker Cedric Teuchert, although lacking in his passing, he's managed a goal and 7.03 rating.
Kansas on the other hand has Nemanja Radoja and Memo Rodríguez, decent players, but they've been having trouble finding the net. It's like they're trying to thread a needle in the dark.
The history books remind us that the scales seem slightly tipped. Kansas has shone now and then with a 4-1 victory against Saint Louis in 2023, but the recent past has seen Saint Louis driving it back with a 3-1 win last year.
What direction does the crystal ball show us? The stars seem to align in the favor of Saint Louis City SC, who've been delightfully successful of late, unlike Kansas, who've been on a skid that'd make a banana peel jealous. Hint to those with a gambling itch, let’s just say that the St. Louis boys might be more likely to fatten your wallets, much like the turkey on Thanksgiving Day.
And here's how I see it unfolding, folks:
