San Diego FC

Season Form Comparison

St. Louis City arrives at CITYPARK with a strong record of 11 wins, 6 draws, and only 3 losses this season. Their attacking efficiency is notable, netting 45 goals while conceding 27, which reflects a solid balance between offense and defense. San Diego FC, in contrast, holds a more modest 6-6-8 record, with 31 goals scored but a leaky defense that has allowed 40 goals.

Defensive Concerns

St. Louis City has kept clean sheets in only 25% of their matches, highlighting some vulnerability at the back despite their strong overall record.
