My Prediction
Saint Louis City SC by 1For all you punters out there, we've got a sizzling Major League Soccer match-up between Saint Louis City SC and San Jose Earthquakes.
Now let's take a look at our goalies for today's bout. San Jose Earthquakes have Daniel and Earl Edwards Jr. between the sticks, while Saint Louis City SC boasts Benjamin Lundt and Roman Bürki safeguarding the net. The Earthquakes' Daniel has been outperforming his compatriot with a rating of 6.83 and 10 noteworthy saves, meanwhile, Lundt's been exceptional in his efforts, brandishing a rating of 7.07 and an impressive 12 saves.
The San Jose Earthquakes are bringing some serious talent to the pitch too, particularly Cristian Arango with a whopping 7.97 rating and 3 goals, and Cristian Espinoza as well, who's been performing consistently with a rating of 7.80 and 2 goals. Not far behind are Preston Judd and Beau Leroux, making their marks this month in the yellow card book – if you're looking for some spicy action, keep an eye on them.
Saint Louis City SC, on the other hand, isn't lacking in firepower either, bringing Marcel Hartel, and Conrad Wallem to burn the field up. Check out Hartel, folks, with a rating of 7.12, one goal and accuracy to die for. And let's not forget Cedric Teuchert and his skills. With a rating of 6.92 and two goals under his belt, he's not messing around.
Taking a quick detour down memory lane, we see that Saint Louis City has been the bully on the block during their past clashes, winning all showdowns against the Earthquakes recently, while San Jose still seems to be hunting for the keys to City's fortress.
So, form it seems plays very much in favor of San Jose with a superior win rate in the regular season, albeit that Saint Louis City has shown a knack for catching the San Jose Earthquakes with their pants down.
So, based strictly on the potential to profoundly upset my producer, and much to the surprise of my ex-wife who continually tells me I'm wrong, I'm giving this to Saint Louis City SC. They always say every dog has his day, and it seems like these guys have their calendars marked.
But don't forget, that's just one man's opinion - you never know what the game has in store until that final whistle.
