MLS Western Conference leaders Saint Louis City host Inter Miami this weekend. The away side are having a tough time at present and start the weekend bottom of the Eastern Conference. Saint Louis will therefore be confident of maintaining or even extending their current two point lead at the top of the Western Conference. They top the table despite having lost eight games this season. Only two have been drawn with 12 victories which is two more than any other Western Conference side. They did lose their last match though, going down 3-0 at second placed Los Angeles FC. City will find this home game against Inter Miami a much easier task.  Before that defeat they had won three successive matches with only one goal oonceded. Home form has been good this season with seven of their 11 games won with three losses. 

Inter Miami can't wait to get Lionel Messi in their side. He'll have his work cut out though as the team known as 'The Herons' are in terrible form at present. They are bottom of the Eastern Conference and 11 points adrift of the final play-off position. Inter have lost 13 of their 21 games and are a point adrift at the bottom of the table. They do have two games in hand on Toronto who are directly above them in the Eastern Conference. However, 'Vice City' have gone ten Conference games without a win. The last three have all ended in score draws, two of whcih were played at home. Their defence has let in 33 Conference goals and they haven't kept a clean sheet in their last 19 MLS matches. Away form has seen them earn just a point from their last five games with nine of the last 11 being lost. We go for Saint Louis City to get the win and be ahead at both half and full time.
