St Louis City Set To Control Home Encounter

St. Louis City sit third after 31 games while Portland occupy 11th place. The home side scores 2.3 goals per game at CITYPARK and concedes just 1.3 there. Portland manages only 1.3 goals scored on the road and lets in 2.1 per away fixture. Across the last eight head-to-head meetings St. Louis has taken three wins and three draws. Portland travels without Bonetig, Bye, McGraw and Mosquera, absences that thin their defensive options. St. Louis also misses several players yet their home numbers and league standing still mark them as the stronger side here. The game may open up with both teams likely to push forward at times.
