St. Louis host Vancouver Whitecaps at the Energizer Park in the MLS on Saturday, looking to halt their downward spiral in the competition. After going through the opening four games of the season unbeaten, the Missouri outfit have lost their next four.
A pair of 1-0 defeats to Philadelphia Union and Austin FC was followed by a 2-0 loss to Kansas City, before Columbus Crew beat them 2-1 last weekend.
Such a spectacular capitulation has seen them drop to 12th position in the Western Conference table with only eight points in the bag from as many games.
Only Houston Dynamo, Sporting Kansas and LA Galaxy have fared worse in the competition at this stage.
