St. Louis City prepares for MLS clash with Real Salt Lake

St. Louis City SC, coached by Yoann Damet, sit seventh in the Western Conference and have surged in form since the World Cup break, posting a seven‑match unbeaten run (six wins, one draw) and four straight‑home victories at Energizer Park. The team aims to test its recent momentum against Real Salt Lake, who sit three places higher but have struggled after the break, losing consecutive matches to Los Angeles FC and the Portland Timbers.

Real Salt Lake, led by coach Pablo Mastroeni, enter the match without midfielder Morgan Guilavogui, who received a red card in the last game and will miss the fixture. The club seeks to reverse its recent slump and improve its away record, while St. Louis looks to capitalize on its home advantage and continue its climb up the standings.
