Portland Thorns welcome Chicago Red Stars to town on Sunday, 13 September, with kick-off set for 23:00 UTC - and the hosts look near-certainties to pick up all three points.
Bookmakers have Portland priced at a remarkably short 1.23, with the draw at 6.20 and a Chicago victory out at 10.40. Those numbers tell you everything you need to know about the gulf between these two sides right now.
The Thorns have been in strong nick, rattling off wins with impressive regularity across recent weeks. Their form reads WWLWDWWWLDWLDWLLDLWWWDL - far from flawless, but packed with enough victories to justify their status as one of the NWSL's dominant forces.
Chicago, by contrast, have been struggling badly. A grim sequence of LWLLLWLLLLWLWLLLLDLLWLL makes for painful reading, and there's little in their recent performances to suggest an upset is brewing, as highlighted by OneFootball.
Prediction models and market odds align on this one: Portland should win comfortably. The Red Stars will need something extraordinary to snatch a result on the road.
