Red Bulls II will try to get back on the winning track as they visit St. Louis FC in a United Soccer League match at Toyota Stadium in Fenton, Mo. Saturday at 8:30 p.m. ET.

The defending USL champions are coming off a 1-0 home defeat to the Harrisburg City Islanders at Red Bull Arena Wednesday night, which ended the team’s unbeaten streak at 17 games.

The game, the third in eight days for eight-place New York (1-1-1, 4 points), which will meet St. Louis FC for the first time.

St. Louis FC (1-0-1, 4), fifth place in the Eastern Conference, has been boosted by a 3-2 comeback win over Ottawa Fury FC last week, the team’s first league victory.

Former Red Bulls academy product and NYRB II player Konrad Plewa could line up opposite of Red Bulls II. He recently signed with St. Louis FC after being a key Red Bulls II contributor in 2016, featuring in 26 games and converting the game-winning penalty kick in Red Bulls II’s Eastern Conference semifinals win over the Rochester Rhinos.
