CITY SC maintained their unbeaten home form in their last match, playing FC Dallas to a nil-nil draw at CITYPARK to make the team 1-0-3 at home this season. St. Louis CITY SC fired in a team-record 27 shots in its scoreless draw with Dallas. Roman Bürki recorded his tenth career clean sheet for St. Louis and his second of the season. Rasmus Alm also made his first start for the club since August 30, 2023.

CITY SC has a 12-4-5 all-time MLS record at home and has outscored its opponents 46-20 at CITYPARK. Across 21 all-time MLS regular season matches at CITYPARK, the team has only trailed for 204 minutes of the 1890 minutes played.

CITY SC has only lost once in their last ten regular season home matches (5-1-4 record). In the last ten MLS home matches, St. Louis has scored 20 goals. Sam Adeniran has scored the most goals (6) in the last 10 home matches for CITY SC, with Eduard Löwen providing the most assists (7).

St. Louis CITY SC holds an overall record of 2-0-1 with 11 goals scored and seven goals conceded against Austin FC and a 1-0-0 record against Austin when playing at CITYPARK. In Austin’s last visit to St. Louis, CITY SC fired in six goals, defeating the away side 6-3. The nine goals were the most goals scored in a single match last season. CITY SC’s six goals in that match was the highest number of goals they have scored in any match in their short history.

This match will be the second meeting of the season after both teams were locked in a 2-2 draw on March 9. CITY SC came from behind twice in that match to earn a point following goals from Löwen and Célio Pompeu.

Austin FC comes into the match on a high note after defeating San Jose Earthquakes on the back of a stoppage time penalty by Sebastián Driussi. Driussi’s penalty in the 90’+11th minute against San Jose on Saturday was the latest match-winning goal in MLS history. In seven games, Austin FC boasts a 2-2-3 record but is still looking for their first away win of the season. The Verde and Black have four players with at least two goals this season: Driussi, Julio Cascante, Guilherme Biro and Diego Rubio.
