Prediction: 3-1
St Louis City
Minnesota United welcome St Louis City at their Allianz Field on the last day of the regular season. The Loons have been producing fine performances in the season finale and they must be high on spirits following a hard-fought 1-0 win over Vancouver Whitecaps. Michael Boxall misses out through suspension, while fellow defender Zarek Valentin remains in the recovery room.
St Louis City, on the other hand, missed out on a spot in the MLS playoffs, but their pride will be at stake in Sunday’s clash. As the visitors are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach against Minnesota United, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. A man to watch in the away team will be Simon Becher, who scored a brace in a 3-0 crushing of Houston Dynamo, while Sweden defender Joakim Nilsson serves a one-game ban.
