Portland Thorns welcome Houston Dash on Sunday, Sep 27 at 2:45 AM in a National Women's Soccer League fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.
Portland Thorns come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Houston Dash, meanwhile, arrive drawing too many games (3D in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
History strongly favours Portland Thorns here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Houston Dash, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Portland Thorns won 2–0. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.4 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Portland Thorns a slight edge, but Houston Dash are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
