Why you should back St. Louis

St. Louis are third in MLS and first in the West with 40 goals -- 26 of which have come at home. The club has recorded at least three tallies in six of its 11 matches at CityPark and has won all seven home contests in which it has converted at least twice. Forward Nicholas Gioacchini has been St. Louis' top offensive contributor on their pitch, where he has scored six of his team-leading eight goals.

Gioacchini is looking to put an end to his four-game scoring drought, which has come after a stretch during which the 22-year-old tallied in five of seven matches. Midfielder Eduard Lowen also has performed well in the "Gateway to the West," netting all five of his tallies this season at home. The 26-year-old German leads St. Louis with six assists while winger Jared Stroud has registered four goals and as many assists in his first year with the club after amassing one and six, respectively, over his first three seasons in MLS. See which team to back here.

Why you should back Inter Miami

Even though they've struggled, Miami have been converting with regularity of late. The club has scored in six consecutive matches and 11 of its last 13 after a stretch during which it was shut out five times in six fixtures. Miami have battled to three straight draws, including a 2-2 outing against D.C. United on July 8 in which midfielder Benjamin Cremaschi and defender Noah Allen each recorded his first MLS goal.

Miami are led offensively by Josef Martinez, who has netted six tallies in 19 matches. The 30-year-old Venezuelan striker has been hot of late, converting in three of his last five contests. Forward Leonardo Campana has registered four goals and a pair of assists while midfielder Robert Taylor has notched two and four, respectively. See which team to back here.
