Portland Thorns welcome Chicago Red Stars on Saturday night riding a wave of momentum that makes them look virtually untouchable at home. Seven wins, three draws, and just a single defeat on their own turf tell the story - the Thorns concede a mere 0.6 goals per home game while scoring at 1.8 per match. Chicago, meanwhile, arrive in freefall.
Chicago's recent form reads like a horror story. Back-to-back drubbings - 5-0 at Houston, 6-1 at Denver, and a 6-0 demolition by North Carolina - paint a picture of total defensive collapse. Across the season, the Red Stars have shipped 53 goals in 23 matches, averaging 2.3 conceded per game. On the road, that figure climbs to 2.6.
Portland own this fixture. The Thorns have won four of the last six meetings, including a 2-0 victory in Chicago back in May. The Red Stars have managed just one win in this rivalry since 2023 - and that came two years ago on Portland soil.
Portland's attacking quality against Chicago's porous defence points heavily in one direction. The Thorns average 1.6 goals per game overall, and their home record suggests they'll create plenty. Chicago's sole bright spot - a 3-2 win over Racing Louisville - feels like an outlier in a dire campaign. Portland should control proceedings comfortably.
