My Prediction
San Diego Wave FC by 2Here we are folks, a classic showdown between the Seattle Reign FC and the San Diego Wave FC. Let's tear into the juicy details, shall we?
Man between the posts for Seattle, Claudia Dickey, having a reasonable season with a 6.63 rating and 4 saves. Meanwhile, San Diego boasts Kailen Sheridan in goal with a mighty impressive rating of 6.87 and 7 saves - a formidable barrier to any hothead striker.
Onto some top talent. Seattle prides itself on the likes of Madison Curry, Samantha Meza and Shae Holmes. Curry and Meza may have forgotten what a goal looks like, but boy, do they love pass making with Curry clocking a 51% and Meza, a remarkable 65% accurate pass rate. Holmes, however, came through with a critical goal, despite her 57.9% pass accuracy.
As for the San Diego Wave FC, they have Adriana Leon and Delphine Cascarino leading the charge. 'Eye of the tiger' Leon has an admirable 7.30 rating, with 2 goals and 84.6% pass accuracy to her name. Partner-in-crime, Cascarino, matches Leon's 7.30 rating, although she's yet to find the back of the net, and is well-versed in ball distribution with an 80.9% passing accuracy.
In the murky waters of history, Seattle had a slight edge over San Diego, winning 3 of the previous 5 fixtures while losing 2. You'd think that gives Seattle the upper hand, huh? However, the regular season records tell a different story, with San Diego leading with 6 wins, 2 draws, and just 2 losses. Seattle's record is a little shabbier with 4 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses.
Even the recent performances echo the royal wave San Diego's been riding - a stunning victory against North Carolina Courage, NJ/NY Gotham FC got smacked, and a draw with Portland Thorns FC. Seattle's performances, on the other hand, have been like a roller-coaster ride - an avalanche defeat to the Washington Spirit, win against Racing Louisville, loss against Houston Dash, oh it's all over the place!
Now, I'm no fortune teller. But, I'd place my money on San Diego. With a solid line-up, respectable keeper, impressive season record, and recent form, it's easier to ride the wave than to reign it in.
