Match Preview
St. Louis City will host Real Salt Lake at Energizer Park in a crucial Major League Soccer clash on Sunday, 19 October. Both teams are struggling for consistency, with St. Louis City enduring a disappointing run of five matches without a win, while Real Salt Lake has shown signs of revival, securing two wins in their last three outings. This match presents an opportunity for St. Louis to reverse their fortunes at home, but they must address their defensive frailties, having conceded multiple goals in recent games.

The outcome may hinge on which team can impose their style and maintain composure under pressure.
