St. Louis City host Los Angeles Galaxy in Major League Soccer. St. Louis have been picking up wins regularly of late, while Galaxy's results have swung all over the place.
The two sides met only a couple of months ago and it didn't go the way the league table might suggest right now, so recent history isn't entirely straightforward here.

Galaxy's equivalent sample reads 7 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses, with 22 scored and 30 conceded. It's a mixed bag, including some heavier defeats mixed in with decent away wins.
On recent form alone, St. Louis are clearly the side in better shape.

The points difference lines up with what their recent form has been showing.
Team news - firepower up top, some doubts either side
Rafael Navarro has been St. Louis City's main source of goals, with 14 in 26 appearances this season. For Galaxy, M. Reus leads the way on assists, setting up 7 in 25 games.
Both squads have some fitness question marks. St. Louis are missing Celio Pompeu and K. Hiebert through injury, plus D. Downs on international duty, while P. Ault and B. McSorley are described as questionable. Galaxy are without R. Puig, and have H. Lozano and H. Miller away on international duty, with E. Wynder, J. Paintsil and S. Roberto all listed as doubts. It's worth remembering the fixture is still a couple of weeks off, so some of this could change before kickoff.

How this one could go
St. Louis City look the stronger side on paper right now, sitting higher in the table and in much better recent form. Navarro's goal record gives them a reliable focal point.
But Galaxy have already shown this year that they can go to St. Louis and win, and both squads carry enough absences to add some uncertainty to how each side lines up.

There's a clear gap between these two sides in the league table and in recent form, and St. Louis look the stronger team heading into this. But the head-to-head record complicates a straightforward read, given how recently Galaxy got the better of them.
With no market to weigh up here and enough moving parts around team news, we're happy to leave this one without a pick rather than force a view.
