St. Louis host Dallas at the CityPark on Wednesday in the MLS, looking to strengthen their position at the top of the table.
With 14 wins and 44 points from 22 games, St. Louis are currently leading the charge in the Western Conference.
However, it's been a rough last few weeks for the side. Firstly, St. Louis went out in the group stages of the 2023 Leagues Cup after losing both their games in the initial round. Then, on Saturday, the Missouri outfit were beaten 2-1 by Orlando City, their second loss in their last four top-flight matches.
This could be encouraging to see for Dallas, who beat Austin in their last MLS outing, ending their three-game winless run. Nkosi Tafari scored the only goal of the game for the Cows in the seventh minute of stoppage time to hand them all three points.
With nine wins and nine defeats each from 24 games, and 33 points in the bag, Dallas currently sit in eighth position in the Western Conference table.
It's also worth mentioning that Dallas were unbeaten in the cup from open play, winning both their group matches and then holding Inter Miami to a draw in the round of 16. However, the Lionel Messi-led team eventually prevailed in the penalty shootout, ending Dallas' ambitions.
