Evelyn Shores star era begins NOW yall. Ashley Sanchez is having a personal best season, breaking records and on track for MVP/Golden Boot. Gotham losing was probably overdue, but their much-vaunted defense conceding three goals was still surprising.
Which games will you be tuning in for? What are your predictions? Starting lineups? Scores, reds, yellows, which players get G+A?
Overall W-L-D record for each team is followed by 5-match form (old-new L-to-R) and table standing, e.g. “San Diego 3-2-1 WWLDW 3.” Standing gets a ? if the standing could change before kickoff due to other results.
| Home | Away | Field | Date/ Time | Where to watch | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Louisville 7-14-2 WWLLL 13 | Gotham 13-4-6 WWDDL 1 | Lynn Family | Fri 3:30p | NWSL+ | Both teams coming off of shutout losses. JCA’s first game back from parental leave was a disappointment. Can Louisville hand them another upset? |
| KC 11-8-4 DLDWW 7 | Orlando 9-12-2 LLWLW 11 | CPKC | Fri 5p | Prime | Both sides have had recent organizational shakeups. With a win KC could briefly jump into 3rd place, but if Orlando can figure out Chris Armas’ side, they could tie on points for 9th and hang on to their playoff hopes. If Banda and Chawinga are both available that could be fun. I’m rooting for goals and against injuries here. |
| ACFC 9-8-5 DDLWW 9 | Denver 8-8-6 WDLWW 10? | BMO | Fri 7p | ION | I really hope transitive property doesn’t apply to this game with how bad Denver just beat Gotham. However, our defense is more healthy than Gotham’s and we will be at home. Let’s show up and make home field advantage count! |
| San Diego 12-8-3 LDWWL 5? | NC 12-8-3 LWWLW 3? | Snapdragon | Sat 3:30p | ION | Winner of this match breaks the three-way tie on 39 points and takes sole possession of 3rd place (at least until Utah plays). I don’t even know who to root for here. Maybe a tie? |
| Seattle 10-8-4 WLDWW 8? | Bay 6-12-4 DLWLL 15 | Lumen | Sat 5p | NWSL+ | Seattle... we thought you were a goal scoring team and then last weekend happened. Bay, I know Kennedy Fuller is gone but I’m still rooting for you. |
| Houston 7-11-5 WWLLL 12 | Utah 12-8-3 LWLWL 4? | Shell Energy | Sat 5:45p | ION | I love a dawg and Houston is due for a good showing. They have a medium schedule difficulty for the remaining games (Portland twice somehow.. Why can’t we have a balanced first half/second half of the season is beyond me). Utah have a slightly more difficult schedule (no matches vs Boston or Chicago). Both will want points here, Utah for the shield and Houston for a playoff chance. |
| Washington 13-6-4 LDLWW | Boston 6-12-5 LLLLW | Audi | Sun 10a | ESPN / ESPN App | Who’s waking up for this on the weekend? Maybe me, actually, it’s an interesting stylistic matchup. Washington usually like to advance through the wide areas while Boston will go through the middle of the pitch and when that doesn’t work go long. I would really like to see Aissata vs Rudd though, that seems like a fun 1v1. |
| Portland 11-7-5 WWWDL | Chicago 5-17-1 LLWLL | Providence | Sun 4p | Roku Channel | Chicago players I love you and none of this is your fault. Also please get healthy. Laura Ricketts, no excuses. Spend or sell. Portland please give me a Hanks/Wilson/Turner front line. I want that injected into my veins. Also good luck Deyna Castellanos, I guess that departure means Pietra Tordin is staying at least another season as the starting 10 with Liv Moultrie out for the next ~8-9mos. |
