NW - Football - United States - NWSL
NOTE: This is a NWSL Match
Chicago Red Stars visit the Mauren Hendricks Field Maryland SoccerPlex to encounter Washington Spirit.
Washington Spirit
The Spirit currently outside of the places for the Finals Series by five points, and with a little more of a third of the league in play there is still possibilities for them to qualify, but they need to improve quickly, of little room for maneuver in the remaining 9 matches. Their current form with one win in the last five matches is s wretched and with currently two consecutive defeats at home by 1-2, it is hard to see how they can get something from this match. Together with the suspension of Paige Neilsen.
Chicago Red Stars
Meanwhile, Chicago Red Stars are just two points behind top of the league North Carolina Courage, and with four consecutive wins, the team is looking to get good results from their two away matches in order to not only close the gap, but take the first position from North Carolina Courage.
Key to that aspirations of Chicago Red Stars is Samantha Kerr, the Australian National Team member, is currently the scorer leader of the NWSL with 12 goals in 12 matches, averaging a goal per match. Has scored one goal in the last three matches, and is a streak that should keep going.
Match
In the last three matches between them in this Stadium, Chicago Red Stars have won twice and draw once. With Washington Spirit being able to score in those of two matches. A encounter that recently has favored the away side, as the last match in Chicago Red Stars's Seatgeek Stadium ended with victory for the away side, the Washington Spirit by 0-2.
Prediction
Chicago Red Stars should take a good result here, mainly because of their defense that has only conceded one goal in the four consecutive victories and with the offensive power of Samantha Kerr, the away side should get a positive result looking forward to the Final Series.
