David Critchley suffered his fourth MLS defeat as the coach of St Louis City FC. They were humbled at the Rio Tinto Stadium by a more confident Real Salt Lake, as they continue to struggle in the division. St Louis City FC suffered a total collapse at the defense, as they watched Salt Lake terrorize their defense in both halves. Unfortunately, they conceded two goals before the break but managed to get one back through Klauss, who has been instrumental in the goal for St Louis. Salt Lake got another goal to make it three, but St Louis also got one back in the 80th minute to make it 3-2.

Unfortunately, this defeat against Salt Lake made it three losses in a row for St Louis and four defeats in their last five league games. It’s also important to note that St. Louis City has managed just three victories since the league began. 

St Louis City has had one of the worst offensive records in the Western Conference, with twenty-one (21) goals scored this campaign. They have picked up fifteen points from a combined sixty-three, scoring twenty-one (21) and conceding thirty-four (34).

St Louis Lineup

St Louis City: Possible Lineup

Manager David Critchley is still trying to adapt to the apex league, as he has lost four games from the six games coached, with a draw and a victory. He needs to do something really fast about the team's downward performance. Klauss has been instrumental for St Louis, and he will lead his team upfront in this game. Critchley will continue to rotate the defense line until he eventually gets it right. 

St Louis City SC Potential Starting Lineup (4-1-4-1)

Burki—Yaro, Orozco, Girdwood-Reich, Totland, —Wallet,—Teuchert, Becher, Hartel, Ostrak—João Klauss

Out: Wallem, Horn, Nilsson, Alm, Lowen, Joyner

Head coach: David Critchley 

Portland Timbers: form and statistics

Phil Neville has done a good job so far for the Portland Timbers as they’ve lost just a single game at home this season. The Portland Timbers had a good one in their last league game against New England, with the game ending in a 2-1 scoreline. Ian Smith got the opening goal for Portland in the 20th minute, but Luca Langoni got one back for New England just 15 minutes after Ian Smith’s goal. David Pereira got the winning goal for Portland in the second half. 

The Portland Timbers have only lost a game in their last five league games, with three wins and a draw. The absence of key players like Anthony and Jonathan Rodriguez will severely impact the Timbers' offensive capabilities. The Portland Timbers have been great on goal with a minimum of a goal in their last five league games, and I believe they’ll get at least a goal in this encounter. They have the better advantage for the win here.

Phil Neville will most likely field the same squad he used against New England. Kevin remains the sole man upfront for Portland, with Pereira supporting him on the right.
