Minnesota vs St. Louis Prediction and Betting Tips | May 17th 2025
Minnesota United will entertain St. Louis at Allianz Field in Major League Soccer on Saturday. The hosts will strive to conserve their spot in the standings, as the visitors will attempt to get their campaign off the ground.
Minnesota vs St. Louis Preview
Minnesota’s impressive winning streak screeched to a halt on Thursday (May 15) when they lost to Houston Dynamo 2-0 on the road. It was the hosts’ first setback in four outings, after a three-game winning run during which they scored eight goals against one conceded. Minnesota would need all three points to hold their spot.
The Loons sit third in the Western Conference table, tied on 22 points with fourth-placed Portland Timbers. Fifth-placed Los Angeles FC hold 21 points on the board. Minnesota could be outpaced by both teams if they suffer any slip-up in Saturday’s meeting. They had the better of St. Louis (4-1, 3-1) in the sides’ last two clashes.
St. Louis are struggling to get their campaign off the ground after more than a dozen matches played. They have recorded two wins in 13 games, drawing five and losing six, which leaves them 14th out of 15 teams in the Western Conference standings. St. Louis have defeated the hosts once, and it occurred on the road.
The visitors’ unpromising start to the season is raising the spectre of a possible repeat of last year’s dismal campaign. They finished 12th in the Western Conference and 24th overall and did not qualify for the playoffs. New coach Olof Mellberg is under pressure to steer the team from the rot, but he is yet to find success.
