The Major League Soccer 2025 Matchday 22 clash between St. Louis CITY SC and Portland Timbers is scheduled for July 13, 2025, at 23:00 UTC (7:00 p.m. ET) at Energizer Park, St. Louis, Missouri. This Western Conference matchup sees a struggling St. Louis CITY SC, ranked 14th, desperate to end a five-game winless streak, facing a fourth-placed Portland Timbers, who are riding a strong home form but seeking to improve their away record.
St. Louis CITY SC Review
St. Louis CITY SC, under interim coach David Critchley, are 14th in the Western Conference with 15 points (W3-D6-L12), having scored 23 goals and conceded 36 in 21 matches (1.10 scored, 1.71 conceded per game). Their 4-2-3-1 formation relies on João Klauss (6 goals in last 6 games, 5 in last 4) and Marcel Hartel (3 assists in MLS debut vs Portland). Despite a promising 2-1 win over San Jose Earthquakes on May 31, 2025, their form has plummeted (L-D-L-L-L), with no clean sheets in 11 matches. A 3-2 loss to Real Salt Lake on July 5, 2025, highlighted defensive issues. Injuries plague the squad: Alfredo Morales, Christopher Durkin, Joakim Nilsson, Rasmus Alm, Eduard Löwen, and Cedric Teuchert are out, with Conrad Wallem suspended. Recent form: LDLLL
Portland Timbers Review
Portland Timbers, coached by Phil Neville, are fourth with 33 points (W9-D6-L5), scoring 30 goals and conceding 28 (1.50 scored, 1.40 conceded per game). Their 4-2-3-1 formation features David Da Costa (6 assists, 5 goals), Antony (6 goals, 7 assists), and Felipe Mora (5 goals). A 2-1 comeback win over New England Revolution on July 5, 2025, extended their home unbeaten streak to 10 (5W-5D). However, their away form is weaker (3W-2D-4L, goalless in last 3 away games). Injuries include Antony, Ariel Lassiter, Jonathan Rodríguez, and Zac McGraw, with Maxime Crépeau, Finn Surman, and Lassiter on international duty. Recent form: WLDWW
Head to Head
St. Louis CITY SC and Portland Timbers have met 6 times since 2023, with each team winning 2 and 2 draws (St. Louis 11 goals, Portland 10). Recent H2H results:
June 8, 2025 (Providence Park): Portland 2-1 St. Louis (Antony 55’, Ayala 90+2’; Watts 50’).
August 2024 (Providence Park): 4-4 draw (Hartel 3 assists for St. Louis).
2023 (Leagues Cup, St. Louis): St. Louis 3-1 Portland. Average goals per match: 3.50, with 83% both teams to score (BTTS) and 50% over 2.5 goals. St. Louis are unbeaten in Portland (1W-1D), but Portland won the most recent clash
Prediction: St. Louis CITY SC 1-2 Portland Timbers
St. Louis’ home advantage and Klauss’s hot streak (5 goals in 4) face Portland’s depleted attack and inconsistent away form (goalless in 3). Portland’s high-line 4-2-3-1 (mid-table possession, low field tilt) suits Da Costa and Moreno but risks counters, which St. Louis exploited in their 4-4 draw. Bookmakers favor Portland (odds ~2.00, 45% win probability), with BTTS at 1.48 (83% H2H trend) and over 2.5 goals at 1.80 (50% H2H). St. Louis’ injuries (6 key players out) and no clean sheets in 11 contrast with Portland’s depth, despite absences. A high-scoring, competitive game is likely, with Portland’s form edging out.
