Sun Mar 16 00:00:00 UTC 2025: ## St. Louis City Looks to Extend Unbeaten Streak Against Champions League-Bound Seattle Sounders

**ST. LOUIS, MO –** St. Louis City SC will aim for their second consecutive victory and extend their unbeaten streak to four matches when they host the Seattle Sounders FC at CityPark on Saturday. While Seattle is still smarting from a CONCACAF Champions Cup exit, St. Louis enters the match with momentum after a dominant 3-0 win over LA Galaxy last Monday. This victory marked their first MLS win of the 2025 season, following two scoreless draws to begin the campaign.

Despite possessing only 30% of the ball against the Galaxy, St. Louis showcased impressive attacking prowess with goals from Cedric Teuchert, Marcel Hartel, and Simon Becher. Their defensive record is particularly noteworthy, as they are the only team in the league yet to concede a goal this season. However, this clean sheet record will be severely tested against a Seattle side that has already scored seven goals this season, trailing only Philadelphia Union and Vancouver Whitecaps in league scoring.

Seattle’s hopes for a strong MLS run come after a disappointing 4-1 loss to Cruz Azul in the second leg of their CONCACAF Champions Cup round-of-16 matchup. While they managed a 5-2 victory over LAFC in their first MLS win last Saturday, the midweek defeat casts a shadow over their campaign. Historically, Seattle has dominated this matchup, winning their last four encounters against St. Louis.

Both teams will face injury challenges. St. Louis will be without Joachim Nilsson, Rasmus Alm, Jake Girdwood-Reich, and Jayden Reid due to various injuries. Seattle will be missing Reed Baker-Whiting due to a hamstring injury.

The match promises a compelling clash of styles: St. Louis’s resolute defense against Seattle’s potent attack. The home side will be eager to prove their mettle against a historically dominant opponent, while Seattle seeks to regain its form and build momentum for the remainder of the season. The outcome will depend largely on whether St. Louis can maintain their defensive solidity against a hungry Seattle side looking for revenge and a strong league performance.
