My Prediction
San Diego Wave FC by 2Now, let's cut our teeth into this titanic tussle between the Racing Louisville and San Diego Wave FC. Looking at the goalkeepers, Katie Lund of Racing Louisville doffs the cap to her rival with 9 saves and a 6.70 rating. Louisville will need her in top form to fend off the energetic Waves. Speaking of which, Kailen Sheridan is no slouch either, she's kept 5 attempts at bay with a solid 6.40 rating.
On the player front, an eyebrow-raising fact is that no player for either side has netted more than once this season. But hey, soccer is a classy blend of offense and defense, and their passing game might be making the difference. Gia Corley is one to watch for the Wave with a 7.35 rating, while her teammate, Perle Morroni, has a neat pass accuracy record at 84%. Louisville's triad of Ella Hase, Taylor Flint and Courtney Petersen are a competent trifecta and certainly not to be ignored either.
Looking at past meetups, San Diego Wave FC is doing a snazzy foxtrot with Louisville, having scored more aggregate goals and besting them thrice, with two stalemates. Their regular season records sing a harmonious duet though, both standing at 1-1-2.
Of late, San Diego has weathered stormy weathers, pocketing a win, draw and 2 losses. The recent L against the Kansas City Current will surely have left a sour taste. Similarly, Racing Louisville have lost 2, registered a win and a draw. A mixed bag, but with their recent victory against the Red Stars, spirits will be high.
A gentleman's bet hinted from the corners would see payoff favor San Diego Wave FC, but the glory of sports lies in its unpredictability. After meticulously pouring over the stats like a sommelier, my prediction sees San Diego Wave FC riding the wave to shore.
