St. Louis City vs FC Dallas Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 1.77 expected goals for St. Louis City and 1.33 for FC Dallas, a combined total of 3.10.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 60% for over 2.5 goals and 61% for both teams to score, with 1–1 the single most likely scoreline at 11%.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is St. Louis City win, at 47.8%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–1.

It puts both teams scoring at 61% and over 2.5 goals at 60%.

A 48% selection is expected to miss in the remaining share of matches, and football regularly produces red cards, injuries and tactical changes the data cannot see. Treat this as a probability, not a forecast of the result.
