St. Louis City SC host San Diego FC at CITYPARK on Saturday, October 31 (3:00 PM ET \/ 2:00 PM CT \/ 12:00 PM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

St. Louis City SC go into this one with no fresh fitness concerns reported and a settled group of attacking threats to lean on. Simon Michael Becher has been the focal point up front, with 9 goals and 28 shots on target from 2,095 minutes, while Daniel Ethan Edelman supplies the final ball from midfield, with 4 goals and 23 chances created in 2,351 minutes. San Diego FC also report no new absences, and their own spine is clear: Anders Laustrup Dreyer carries 13 goals, 41 shots on target and 76 chances created from 2,544 minutes, with Marcus H\u00f8jriis Ingvartsen offering an additional scoring route after netting 12 times himself.<\/p>\n

This is a matchup between two very different trajectories. St. Louis City SC sit second in the Western Conference<\/a> with 51 points from 30 games, their +15 goal difference pointing to a side that has scored heavily without leaking at the same rate, underlined by the 6-2 demolition of LA Galaxy and the 3-0 win at New York Red Bulls. San Diego FC, 12th in the West on 34 points with a -3 goal difference, have found goals hard to keep out, as the 3-3 draw with Houston Dynamo and the 4-1 defeat to New York Red Bulls both show \u2014 and that leak at the back is exactly the opening St. Louis City SC’s attack, built around Becher and Edelman, will look to exploit at Energizer Park.<\/p>\n\n\n
