With Saint Louis FC’s return to the Eastern Conference this season, the battle between the Missouri clubs is now an inter-conference clash, but that is unlikely to diminish the rivalry between the two teams as they battle for vital points in their respective push for the playoffs. While changes have arrived at both clubs this offseason, the identity of both should be well formed by the time they meet in front of what should be a raucous crowd at World Wide Technology Soccer Park. The home fans will be hoping for a repeat of STLFC’s 3-0 victory on home turf when the two teams met for the first time in 2016.
