Saint Louis City SC

- Saint Louis City SC are unbeaten in their last 10 matches in all competitions (W7, D3).
- Yoann Damet's men have won three and drawn two of their last five matches, showing plenty of grit and punch in their most recent three games - a 2-1 win over Houston Dynamo FC, a 3-3 draw with in-form FC Dallas and a 3-1 away win over Vancouver Whitecaps.
- Damet's side play with an aggressive press-first identity and like to turn the ball over and play vertically to get into the forward third quickly.

- Minnesota United's record away from home across all competitions is less impressive with one win, one draw and two defeats from four, conceding at an average of two per away game.
- Minnesota United set up in a compact block, so this matchup will be a chess match between two teams with very different ideas about the tempo of the game.
