St. Louis CITY SC climbs Western Conference standings on 12-game unbeaten run

St. Louis CITY SC is experiencing a significant resurgence in Major League Soccer, currently maintaining a 12-game unbeaten run across all competitions. This streak has propelled the team from the bottom of the Western Conference to sixth place, revitalizing their chances for a playoff appearance.

Under the direction of head coach Yoann Damet, the team has adopted a possession-based style of play characterized by quick combinations. Key contributors to this form include Simon Becher, Dante Polvara, and Daniel Edelman. Despite recent roster changes, such as the transfer of top scorer Marcel Hartel to Germany's Hannover 96 and the departure of Eduard Löwen to the San Jose Earthquakes, the club has maintained momentum, including a recent 2-1 victory over Houston Dynamo.

St. Louis is scheduled to host FC Dallas in a critical match as they aim to secure their first postseason berth since joining the league. While both teams are currently level on points, St. Louis enters the matchup with superior recent form compared to Dallas.
