Allow me to unravel this mystical sporting thread we've got, in the form of a clash between the Seattle Reign FC and Bay FC. Now, let me assure you, Einstein never predicted soccer games, so I'm not going to promise any miracles here.
Firstly, let's put the spotlight on the keepers. For Bay FC, Katelyn Rowland glistens with a 7.12 rating and 12 saves to her name. Across the field, Claudia Dickey delves into battle for Seattle with a 6.90 rating, just slightly behind Katelyn, but hey, she's made 13 saves this season, so she's not taking this lying down.
In terms of big hitters or rather the booters, for Bay FC we've Racheal Kundananji, a 7.40 stunner, but with no goals, we’ve got the enthusiastic Dorian Bailey, and the spritely Rachel Hill. Bay FC would probably have more shots at scoring if they focused on playing soccer rather than playing golf on the field.
Shifting our gaze to The Reign, they've got some flashy boots themselves. Namely Sofia Huerta who has been scoring goals for fun at a 7.50 rating, and Ji So-yun, who at 7.33 is highly impressive, and far better at actual football than Sudoku which that name suggests.
Previously when these teams have collided, Bay FC walked away with a 3-2 victory. Regular season records paint a confusing picture, as Bay FC have an 8-1-12, which outshines the Seattle’s less impressive 5-5-11. I can’t really credit either of them too much though. It’s a bit like comparing two weather beaten rust buckets for who has less holes.
However, recent games show quite a turn in fortunes for both sides. Bay FC's love affair with wins seems to have hit a rocky patch with 1 win, 1 draw, and 3 losses trailing in its recent wake - just goes to show you that soccer can be as fickle as my ex. Seattle Reign FC, on the other hand, are on a 3 win to 2 loss grind - a decent balance like a tightrope walker on a unicycle.
So, after juggling all this soccer data without dropping a single number, I would say that these teams are more evenly matched than a symmetric Rorschach blur. Que sera sera, but remember, I'm no Nostradamus.
