Players to Watch: St. Louis City SC vs. San Jose Earthquakes
St. Louis City SC
Marcel Hartel — M. Hartel runs the show in St. Louis’ midfield, scoring 6 goals and adding 4 assists across 16 appearances this season, a combination that tops anyone else on the roster. He’s the one St. Louis player capable of both finishing chances and setting them up, a two-way threat San Jose will have to account for through the middle of the park.
Simon Becher — F. Up top, Simon Becher has found the net twice in 18 appearances while adding 4 assists of his own, giving St. Louis a forward who contributes even when the finishing touch isn’t there. His involvement in the buildup gives Hartel another outlet to work with in the final third.
Daniel Edelman — M. Daniel Edelman’s 3 assists across 17 appearances make him a steady distributor in St. Louis’ midfield, service that keeps Becher and Hartel involved in the attack. His minutes total shows he’s been a fixture in the lineup all season.
San Jose Earthquakes
Preston Judd — F. Preston Judd has been San Jose’s most reliable source of goals, scoring 11 times across 18 appearances this season, the highest total either roster can claim. That output alone makes him the focal point St. Louis’ backline will need to contain.
Niko Tsakiris — M. In just 11 appearances this season, Niko Tsakiris has already piled up 7 assists for San Jose, production that outpaces every individual creator St. Louis has to offer. Marcel Hartel’s team-high 4 assists for St. Louis are the closest comparison anywhere in this matchup.
Timo Werner — F. It’s taken Timo Werner just 10 appearances to reach 5 goals for San Jose this season, a scoring rate that matches Ousseni Bouda’s 5 goals across nearly double the appearances. Between Judd, Werner and Bouda, San Jose brings multiple proven finishing threats into this one.
