We have MLS again on our daily platforms, baby!
With the opening match between CF Montréal and Toronto FC already underway, MLS officially returns as the league resumes the second half of the regular season following the World Cup break.
While two current MLS players are still preparing to represent Argentina in the World Cup final, attention now shifts back to domestic action, as the ball gets rolling once again at Energizer Park.
Similar to the previous game, both St. Louis City SC and Sporting Kansas City are dealing with a large number of unavailable players for this matchup.
On one side, you have St. Louis with Conrad Wallem and Jaziel Orozco. On the other hand, Sporting Kansas has Taylor Calheira, Justin Reynolds, and Diego Borges.
With this being said, join us for this St. Louis SC vs. Sporting Kansas preview. In this article, we will discuss the latest news, provide information on how to watch the game, and present the predicted formation.

St. Louis SC:
Sporting Kansas City:
The encounter between these two teams will start at 8:30 p.m. at the Energizer Park in Missouri.
This match is available to watch live on Apple TV. Remember, all MLS games can only be watched through Apple TV.
In this case, picking a winner is a bit easier, not to disrespect the other side, but the standings and recent results speak for themselves.
Even though both teams are currently outside the playoff spots, there is a clear gap between the seasons St. Louis City SC and Sporting Kansas City have had so far.
St. Louis sits 12th in the Western Conference, while Sporting Kansas City is at the bottom of the table. Of course, this is soccer, and anything can happen, but St. Louis City SC enters as the favorite, and I see them winning.
Although the locals will have some struggles, they will win this match and climb near the playoffs.
