Match context
- Form
- RSL W-L-W-L over their last four (3-1 at SKC, 1-2 at Philadelphia, 3-0 v New England, 0-2 at Seattle), 45/48 season goals; St. Louis L-D-W (3-2 loss at Minnesota, 0-0 v Vancouver, 3-0 at NYRB), 56/41 season, after a club-record ~19-game MLS unbeaten run.
- History
- All 7 MLS meetings (2023-2026) are near-even: RSL 3 wins, 3 draws, STL 1 win (13-12 goals to RSL). STL's only win was the very first meeting (4-0 in Salt Lake, Mar 2023) since when they have not beaten RSL. Recent five: all featured goals for both, with three draws (1-1 Feb 2024 in St. Louis, 2-2 Oct 2025 in St. Louis, 1-1 Aug 2026 in St. Louis) and RSL home wins 3-1 and 3-2. Stature: STL are 2nd in the West on 51 pts in 2026 and just won the 2026 US Open Cup; RSL are a traditional big-spending…
- The competition
- MLS 2026 regular season (30-team US top flight, Eastern/Western conferences), final stretch — a Round 31 fixture. St. Louis CITY SC sit 2nd in the Western Conference on 51 pts (14-9-7, GF 56/GA 41) and have already clinched a playoff berth (plus a 2027 Concacaf Champions Cup spot via their U.S. Open Cup title on Oct 21); RSL are 10th on 36 pts (10-6-14, GF 45/GA 48) and still scrapping for a playoff place. So STL's league stakes are limited (seeding), RSL's are large.
