Team News

St. Louis City
FC Cincinnati
  • Both Joakim Nilsson and Rasmus Alm have suffered knee injuries that are expected to keep them out until May. Njabulo Blom, meanwhile, is expected to be out until the end of the month with a muscle problem.
  • Yuya Kubo is out for the next month with a knee injury, but Malik Pinto should be available for selection.

Prediction

  • St Louis suffered a 3-0 defeat to Seattle Sounders last time out as they were replaced at the top of the table by last week's opponents, and will be looking to return to winning ways after suffering back-to-back defeats.
  • Cincinnati are one of two teams across the MLS that are yet to suffer a defeat so far this campaign and currently sit top of the Eastern Conference. A third consecutive 1-0 win for Cincinnati last weekend against Philadelphia Union ensured they kept their record of holding the most clean sheets so far this campaign (an impressive five in seven games).
  • All five of Cincinnati's wins in the Eastern Conference have been by a one-goal margin, and they are the only side to have beaten current Western Conference leaders Seattle Sounders so far this season.
