Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for St. Louis City is 6.90, compared to 6.93 for Los Angeles FC. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. St. Louis City's highest-rated starter is M. Hartel (7.43), while Los Angeles FC's best-rated player is M. Delgado (7.28).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of St. Louis City have contributed 9 goals and 3 assists this season, led by M. Hartel (3G). Los Angeles FC's starters account for 9 goals and 11 assists, spearheaded by D. Bouanga (5G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

St. Louis City deploy 4 defenders rated 6.70 on average, against Los Angeles FC's 3-man backline averaging 6.96. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

St. Louis City field 3 midfielders averaging 7.21, versus Los Angeles FC's 4 rated 6.83. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

St. Louis City start 3 forward(s) averaging 6.67, compared to 3 for Los Angeles FC averaging 7.13. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 83% for St. Louis City and 85% for Los Angeles FC. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

St. Louis City's starters have collected 13 yellow cards this season, compared to 15 for Los Angeles FC. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of St. Louis City's starting XI is 26.4 (youngest: F. Fall (21), oldest: R. Burki (35)), while Los Angeles FC average 29.2 (youngest: A. Smolyakov (22), oldest: H. Lloris (39)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

St. Louis City's starters average 10 league appearances each, versus 11 for Los Angeles FC. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
