Interim Coaches Clash: St. Louis City vs. Earthquakes

In a showdown between two struggling Western Conference teams, St. Louis City will take on the San Jose Earthquakes on Wednesday night. Both teams will be led by interim coaches, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the matchup.

St. Louis City, who have had a disappointing season so far with a record of 3-7-10, find themselves in 12th place in the conference, three spots below the playoff line. Their recent form has been poor, managing just one point in their last four matches and failing to secure a win since May 11th.

Their most recent defeat came at the hands of the Vancouver Whitecaps, where they fell 4-3. This result extended their winless streak to nine matches, leading to the dismissal of coach Bradley Carnell.

On the other hand, the San Jose Earthquakes have had an even tougher season, sitting at the bottom of the Western Conference with a record of 3-15-2. They have the fewest points in MLS, the most losses, and the worst goal differential.

The Earthquakes are currently on a five-game losing streak, with their most recent loss being a 3-0 defeat to the LA Galaxy. Interim coach Ian Russell will be looking to turn things around for San Jose and secure their first win since May 11th.

In their previous meetings last season, St. Louis City emerged victorious in both encounters, outscoring the Earthquakes 5-1. The upcoming match presents an opportunity for San Jose to seek redemption and turn the tide in their favor.

As both teams prepare to face off on Wednesday night, the spotlight will be on the interim coaches and their ability to inspire a change in fortunes for their respective teams. Will St. Louis City continue their dominance over the Earthquakes, or will San Jose finally break their losing streak? The stage is set for an exciting clash between these two struggling sides.
