Portland Thorns come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Houston Dash travel in good form (3W 0D 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Portland Thorns head into this on the back of a defeat, while Houston Dash arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
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.
