Saint Louis City SC 2 host Real Monarchs SLC in an MLS Next Pro fixture with no specific round noted. CheckLive favour the home side with a 58% win probability on a medium signal, but with both teams struggling for consistency this is no foregone conclusion and a draw is a realistic outcome.
Saint Louis City SC 2 have lost their last five matches, most recently falling 4-6 to Vancouver Whitecaps FC II, 1-2 to Portland Timbers II, 1-2 to Houston Dynamo 2, 0-3 to North Texas SC and 0-2 to Austin FC II. Real Monarchs SLC have two wins in their last five: a 2-1 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps FC II and an 11-10 thriller against Los Angeles FC 2, but also losses to Portland Timbers II (0-1), Tacoma Defiance (2-4) and LA Galaxy II (1-3).
The head-to-head record is lopsided, with Saint Louis City SC 2 winning all six previous meetings – including a 1-3 away victory in July. Despite that dominant history, Saint Louis's current run of five straight defeats means form should not be overlooked; the contest could turn on whether the hosts can rediscover their edge against a side they have always beaten.
