LAST TIME OUT: Saint Louis FC suffered its second consecutive 2-0 defeat on the road last weekend, falling to the Rochester Rhinos at Sahlen's Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Rochester scored two first-half goals to set itself up for victory against a Saint Louis side that was without several regular starters due to injury. After going 2-1-1 away from home in July, STL FC posted a 0-3-1 road mark in August.
THE OPPONENT: Harrisburg is coming off a 4-0 defeat at Louisville City FC on Wednesday night at Slugger Field. While the Islanders are third in the USL Eastern Conference in goals scored (42), they're also tied for the league-lead in goals allowed (50). Wednesday's loss at Louisville marked the eighth time this season that Harrisburg has conceded four goals or more in a single game.
THE SERIES: STL FC and Harrisburg City Islanders met for the first time on June 13 at World Wide Technology Soccer Park. After Eric Ayuk put the visitors ahead in the 38th minute, Sam Fink equalized with a powerful header off a Charles Renken cross late in the match. The game ended in a 1-1 draw.
FINAL ROADTRIP: Sunday's match will be the last road game of the regular season for Saint Louis FC. In its 13 away matches in league play this season, STL FC went 4-5-4. Saint Louis also played a road game in the U.S. Open Cup, falling 1-0 to Sporting Kansas City in front of 19,298 fans on June 16.
