My Prediction
DrawOh tie up your sneakers, we're diving into the sweaty world of Major League Soccer. Specifically, the thrilling brawl that is Saint Louis City SC versus Sporting Kansas City, a matchup thrilling enough to make you forget you’re watching soccer. If loud colors and grown men diving around didn't do the job, maybe this will.
In the net for Saint Louis, we've got Benjamin Lundt with a fancy 7.08 rating and 17 near death experiences, sorry, I mean saves. Opposing him and obstructing the path of the ball with nothing but sheer will, and inevitable fear of the ball, is John Pulskamp, carrying a slightly inferior 6.84 rating with 16 saves under his gloves.
Now let's talk about the ones making the goalie's job a nightmare. Starting with Saint Louis, João Klauss is their top dog with a rating of 6.96 and Marcel Hartel isn't far behind with a 6.92 rating. They’ve got others too but who is counting, right? Sporting Kansas City can retort with the skillful Manu García sporting a robust 7.26 rating. Dániel Sallói holds his own too with 2 goals and a rating of 7.22.
Let’s dig up the past, because who doesn't like a good touch of nostalgia? Looking at previous clashes between these two, Kansas City might have the upper hand, seeing as they haven't lost to Saint Louis since 2024. Though, recent form is shaky at best for Kansas with a WIN-LOSS-draw-lost-WON sequence in their last five. Saint Louis isn’t sitting pretty with losses and the occasional draw in their last five. This is why we watch, isn't it? Unpredictability is the name of the game.
Looking at all this, someone might feel tempted to put their chips on Saint Louis City SC. But remember folks, soccer can be as unpredictable as the lunch special at your local cafeteria. I would say, settle in for a clash as tight as the President's tie on a state visit.
