A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : USA: MLS
Venue: Energizer Park
Saturday 23rd May 2026, 1945hrs (GMT)
Next up is an all-Western Conference clash in the MLS between 14th placed St Louis City and 15th placed visitors Austin FC when the two struggling sides meet at Energizer Park on Saturday night (GMT).
Despite their lowly position in the Western Conference ladder, St Louis City bring a three-game unbeaten sequence into this upcoming clash which consists of two wins and a draw; recent victories over the likes of Colorado Rapids and Los Angeles along with a point gained in a 1-1 draw away from home at DC United last time out will no doubt give Yoann Damet’s side a welcome lift.
Saturday night’s hosts had previously slumped to five games without a win, so their recent resurgence will give St Louis City plenty of confidence ahead of this upcoming clash, while an early home record of 2-1-2 8/7 suggests the hosts stand a chance of a result here.
Austin FC by contrast have failed to win any of their last three matches overall in the MLS as the visitors have been dealt back-to-back defeats at the hands of San Diego and Kansas City in 5-0 and 2-1 losses respectively.
The visitors had previously captured encouraging back-to-back wins against Houston Dynamo and St Louis City respectively, but it is worth mentioning that both of these victories were achieved on home turf at Q2 Stadium.
However, results away from home have been poor by comparison as Austin FC possess a disappointing away record that stands at 0-3-4 10/22 which does not bode well for this upcoming trip.
The Betting Verdict
St Louis City’s recent winning momentum will give the hosts a boost here.
The Pick :
St Louis City 2-1 Austin FC
