St. Louis City will be looking to break their early-season slump as they take on Orlando City SC in an MLS matchup at Energizer Park in St. Louis, Missouri, on Wednesday, June 25, 2025. Kick-off is set for 8:30 PM ET / 5:30 PM PT.
Currently struggling in the Western Conference, St. Louis City holds just 15 points and is positioned second from the bottom of the standings. The team experienced a managerial change in late May, with Olof Mellberg being replaced after only managing two wins in the first 15 matches. David Critchley has stepped in as the interim head coach, leading to a brief resurgence with a win against San Jose, but recent form has been inconsistent with a setback against Portland and a thrilling draw against LA Galaxy.
On the other hand, Orlando City SC enters the game in a much more stable position, occupying fifth place in the Eastern Conference with 30 points from 18 games. However, they have experienced a downturn as well, having lost three of their last five matches despite securing a narrow 1-0 victory over Colorado Rapids recently. Head coach Oscar Pareja aims to regain the good form that saw them remain unbeaten across 12 matches earlier in the season.
For fans wishing to watch the match, it will be available live on Apple TV in the U.S. Highlights can be found on MLS’ Official YouTube Channel and Apple TV’s Highlights Programme. For those traveling abroad, a VPN may be necessary to access the game through familiar streaming services.
In terms of team news, St. Louis City will be without Rasmus Alm (hip injury), Chris Durkin, Joakim Nilsson (knee injuries), Eduard Löwen (hamstring), and Henry Kessler, who is still working back from injury. Orlando City is also missing forward Duncan McGuire due to a shoulder injury, while Nico Rodríguez’s status remains uncertain due to a thigh issue.
Both teams are eager to improve, and the match promises excitement as St. Louis City seeks a turning point in their season while Orlando City aims to stabilize and push for better results.
