Rafael Navarro aims for greatness as St Louis face LA Galaxy

St Louis City star Rafael Navarro chases more goals while bookmakers price his side as clear favourites.

Written by the BettingEdgeHub desk, 11 October 2026

Rafael Navarro wants to cement his legacy as one of the greatest players in Major League Soccer. The forward commands a hefty price tag of twelve million dollars following his move from the Colorado Rapids. He already has fifteen goals this term, including five in his last five matches for his new club.

Punters assessing the upcoming fixture should note that St Louis City enter this match on a massive seventeen match unbeaten run. This remarkable streak puts them third on the all time single season list for points. Bookmakers reflect this stellar form by making them strong favourites in the outright betting market.

Form and odds analysis

Opta win probability models give St Louis a fifty eight point four percent chance of victory. The LA Galaxy sit at twenty percent, while the draw is priced at twenty one point six percent. Bettors looking at recent head to head trends will notice that St Louis always score heavily against this opponent.

The visiting side has scored multiple goals in each of the last six meetings with the Galaxy. St Louis also bagged three goals in each of their last three matches against them. Justin Haak scored a header for the Galaxy last time out, but their defensive frailties could make them longer odds for a clean sheet.

Betting implications

Navarro creates a massive selection headache for opposing defences and shortens the price on St Louis finding the back of the net. His partnership with an in form squad gives accumulator bettors plenty of confidence. Punters can expect goals from a home side that rarely loses ground at the top of the Western Conference.
