St. Louis CITY SC heads to northeast to face New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium on Saturday. Kickoff is set for 6:30 pm CT and the match will be streamed on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV. Fans can also follow via radio on KYKY (English) and on KXOK 102.9 FM (Spanish).
CITY SC and New England will square off for the first time when they meet on Saturday. However, both teams already have some history following a trade in the summer window that saw Henry Kessler join CITY SC and former CITY SC defender Tim Parker going to New England.
Kessler made 98 regular season appearances, 88 starts, and scored four goals, with six additional starts in the postseason while in New England.
Parker tallied six goals and featured in 53 matches across all competitions for St. Louis. The defender scored CITY SC’s first-ever goal against Austin in the 2023 MLS regular-season opener, the first in the MLS playoffs against Sporting Kansas City and the first Concacaf Champions Cup goal against Houston.
CITY SC defeated the Western Conference leaders LA Galaxy 2-1 at CITYPARK last Sunday. Cedric Teuchert and Marcel Hartel recorded a goal in St. Louis’ fifth victory of the regular season. The win was CITY SC’s first in league play since July 3 against San Jose Earthquakes.
The goal was Teuchert’s second consecutive MLS goal and his fourth goal in his last seven matches across all competitions. Hartel scored his first goal in league play and now has six goal contributions (three goals, three assists) in his last six games across all competitions. Hartel was also selected to the Team of the Matchday for the second straight week following his game winner against the Galaxy. Jay Reid recorded his third assist of the season and Kessler made his 100th MLS regular season appearance against the Galaxy.
CITY SC will be looking to build on their momentum as they search for their first away win of the season. St. Louis owns a 6-4-3 record against eastern conference teams since joining the league in 2023. New England has a 2-2-1 record against western conference teams this season.
The Revs have an 8-15-2 record and come into the match on a two-game losing streak, after falling 5-0 away to Montreal and 2-0 Real Salt Lake last week. New England has a 4-7-2 record at home this season and has only won two of six (2-1-3 record) home matches across all competitions since July.
