St. Louis City - Minnesota United
St. Louis City look to break Minnesota hoodoo at Energizer Park
Can St. Louis City finally assert their authority against a familiar foe when they host Minnesota United at Energizer Park on 13 September 2026 for matchday 25? The hosts are expected to rely on a balanced setup, featuring Roman Buerki in goal protected by a defensive line of Timo Baumgartl, Jaziel Orozco, and Rafael Santos. In the middle, the trio of Daniel Edelman, Christopher Durkin, and Dante Polvara will look to supply Rafael Navarro in attack. Minnesota United, meanwhile, are likely to counter with a forward pairing of Kelvin Yeboah and Marcus Caldeira, supported by a midfield anchored by Wil Trapp and Nectarios Triantis.
St. Louis enters this contest on a productive run, highlighted by a 3-1 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps in early September. Conversely, Minnesota has struggled for consistency, suffering a narrow 2-1 defeat to FC Dallas in their most recent outing. With a head-to-head record that has heavily favored the visitors in recent seasons, including a 2-1 win in July 2025, the tactical battle will center on whether the St. Louis midfield can disrupt Minnesota's transition play. Both sides will be eager to secure points as the season enters its final stretch.
