LAST TIME OUT: Saint Louis FC was held to a 3-3 draw against USL rivals Louisville City FC Sunday night at the Soccer Park.

Forwards Jermie Lynch, Mike Ambersley, and Bryan Gaul all found the net for the hosts.
THE OPPONENT: Minnesota United FC enters Wednesday's match on a three-game winning streak and is unbeaten in its last five matches. On Saturday, Minnesota scored three second-half goals en route to a 3-2 victory over Jacksonville Armada FC. MUFC is a member of the NASL and will be promoted to the MLS in 2017.

After a late Des Moines penalty kick sent the game to extra time, Lynch followed his own rebound to score the decisive goal in the 97th minute. This will be Minnesota's first match in the 2015 U.S. Open Cup.
HOMESTAND ENDS: Wednesday's match will be the last of a five-game homestand for Saint Louis FC at Marshall Wireless Stadium. STL FC has gone 2-1-1 on the homestand, scoring a combined seven goals in those four matches.
