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).
St. Louis City SC have no fresh team news to wrestle with here, and the headline faces remain the same: Simon Michael Becher spearheads the attack with 9 goals from 69 shots, Carl Johan Holse Justesen offers a secondary scoring outlet with 6 goals in just 568 minutes, and Daniel Edelman (23 chances created) and Tomas Totland (also 23 chances created) continue to dictate the midfield tempo. San Diego FC travel with their own settled front line: Anders Dreyer remains the league’s most dangerous forward with 13 goals and 76 chances created, Marcus Ingvartsen has added 12 goals of his own, and Onni Valakari (26 chances created) and Gabriel Pirani (4 goals) give the visitors options through the middle.
St. Louis City SC have put together one of the best home platforms in the West this season, backed by a +15 goal difference that reflects a side equally comfortable going forward as it is defensively. San Diego FC’s own attack, built around Dreyer and Ingvartsen, has rarely gone quiet on the road, and with both defenses prone to conceding, Energizer Park should see goals at both ends even if St. Louis control the bulk of the game.

St. Louis City SC’s platform at Energizer Park — Second in the Western Conference with 51 points — should be enough to see off a San Diego FC side still 12th on 34 points. Expect goals at both ends, with Dreyer too good to go quiet, but St. Louis’ firepower through Becher and the creative platform of Edelman and Totland should edge it.
