My Prediction
San Diego Wave FC by 1Isn't it fantastic to be talking about this high stakes game right around the corner, the Houston Dash versus the San Diego Wave FC. Ah, a romance for the ages!
Let's look at the goalkeepers right off the bat. Abby Smith from Houston Dash has a better rating and more saves than her counterpart Kailen Sheridan of San Diego Wave FC, but hey, numbers don't tell the whole story.
Now when it comes to the top players from San Diego Wave FC, Delphine Cascarino, Melanie Barcenas, and Trinity Armstrong stand out from the rest. Cascarino is the dynamo with strong numbers and has shown great promise. On the Dash side, Bárbara Olivieri, Kathleen Lind, and Natalie Jacobs are shining their light. We can't forget Avery Patterson, who's scoring goals even if her fellow teammates are struggling in this department.
Looking at history, we see a mixed bag. Both teams have had their victories and their defeats against each other, so analyzing the past matchups doesn't give us any clear indications. Houston Dash clearly had San Diego's number last they met, though.
When it comes to the regular season records, it seems like San Diego Wave FC has been hitting the surfing waves better with a record of 6 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses. It's a far better record than Houston Dash's 3 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses, who, it seems, have been dashing in too many directions.
Recently, San Diego Wave FC are riding high with a strong run of results, their only glitch being their recent loss to Seattle Reign FC. Contrast that with Houston Dash whose recent form is having more downs than ups, especially the painful defeat from Orlando Pride.
After a much pondered assessment, and with no offense intended toward our good friends in Houston, it appears that San Diego Wave FC is poised to win this one. They're currently on a roll, the players look hungry for the win, and they've been performing better on the pitch lately.
