St. Louis CITY SC heads to Texas on Saturday, November 7, for a final regular-season trip to face Houston Dynamo on MLS Decision Day at Shell Energy Stadium. The match kicks off at 6:00 p.m. CT and will stream on Apple TV.
For anyone searching St. Louis vs Houston Dynamo, this is the date that closes the regular season and puts the rematch back on the calendar after St. Louis already beat Houston twice this year. One of those wins came in August at Energizer Park, when Simon Becher opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, Houston equalized in the 75th, and Dante Polvara struck the winner in the 85th minute for his first career MLS goal and his first for St. Louis CITY SC.
That August result was only part of a one-sided season series for St. Louis, which also advanced past Houston in May by winning a penalty shootout after 120 minutes in a 2-2 draw to reach its first-ever U.S. Open Cup semifinal. Across all competitions, the clubs have met 10 times, with St. Louis holding a 4-3-3 edge and a 15-10 scoring advantage. At Energizer Park, the home record has been even better: 4-1-1 in six meetings.
Houston enters fifth place in the Western Conference with 51 points and a 14-10-9 record, which gives the finale real weight even if the broader playoff math is not spelled out. The Dynamo are also coming off a 3-1 road defeat to the Portland Timbers that ended a five-match unbeaten streak. They have scored 43 goals and allowed 42 overall, while at home they have been sturdier, with an 8-3-5 record and a 19-14 goal split. Guilherme leads Houston with 16 goals and 10 assists, and Mateusz Bogusz is second with eight goals and five assists.
St. Louis arrives off a 1-0 loss to San Diego last Saturday afternoon, a game decided by Anders Dreyer’s 38th-minute goal. The broadcast options are split clearly: Callum Williams and Calen Carr will handle English coverage on Apple TV, Pablo Ramirez and Jesus Bracamontes will call the Spanish stream, Joey Zanaboni and Dale Schilly will carry the English radio broadcast on KYKY Y98.1 FM, and Santiago Beltrán and Héctor Vega will be on KXOK 102.9 FM in Spanish. The last regular-season whistle is still a few days away, but this matchup already carries the feel of a final test between two teams that know each other well and have not finished settling anything yet.
