My Prediction
Seattle Reign FC by 3Ah, soccer - a sport where the ball is round and the results uncertain. Put your chai latte aside, people! We've got one heck of a National Women’s Soccer League matchup in the pipes: Chicago Red Stars versus Seattle Reign FC.
Let's delve into what we've got. Our cast of keepers includes Alyssa Naeher on the side of Chicago, sporting solid stats with a 7.05 rating and 10 saves, and her performance can't be ignored. That said, Chicago has another contender, Halle Elizabeth Mackiewicz, whose thrill factor might be slightly dimmed given her 6.80 rating and baggage of 3 saves.
As for Seattle, Claudia Dickey is flying solo with a 6.83 rating and 6 saves. Yet, with her lone-wolf status, she's got a wave of responsibility hung on her. The question is not if she can handle it but how well she can.
Now for our leading ladies. Seattle marching in with Phoebe McClernon and Emeri Adames, who serve us ratings of 7.13 and 7.10, respectively. Seattle also has Maddie Dahlien, who’s showing potential with 1 goal and 3 shots on goal on her recent highlight reel.
Chicago touts Allyson Schlegel with that impressive 1 goal off 1 shot, with a 7.03 rating. Sam Staab, with her 6.97 rating and zero goals, seems like she might be begging for attention from Seattle's defensive line.
When it comes to historical clashes between these two titans of turf, Chicago has been giving Seattle a run for their money, with a Jan Brady style "Red Stars, Red Stars, Red Stars!" outlook until Seattle ramped it up in 2023, shifting those winds of victory westward.
In terms of regular season records, Seattle shows a stronger hand with 5 wins compared to Chicago's single signed, sealed, and delivered victory. The recent results show a similar pattern. Seattle has enjoyed success in their recent matches, while Chicago seems to be having a bit of a hard-luck streak.
Chin up though, Chicago. Just remember, even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then. As for our betting pals out there, it's been said that fortune favors the bold, but sometimes she just favours those who use statistics.
