St. Louis City and Toronto meet in very different states of form. The hosts just thrashed their opponents 3-0 in the cup after a league win, while the visitors just lost 0-3 and now have to travel to Energizer Park for this league game. St. Louis City are unbeaten in 5 matches, winning their last 3 while scoring at least two goals each time. Their attack is clicking, while Toronto have picked up just 2 wins from their last 5 and their defence is a clear problem, going by the cumulative stat of 46 goals conceded in 25 matches. Toronto's game plan will likely be to sit back and counter, because they average just 42.3% possession in their last 10 matches and face 5.7 shots on target per game. St. Louis City should dominate going forward with their 3-4-1-2 that pushes both wing-backs high, with Simon Becher and Rafael Navarro Leal finishing up front. The game should open up early, and the thing to watch is how quickly St. Louis City can break down Toronto's defence before the visitors fully settle into their defensive shape.
