Preview

Match preview

Chicago Red Stars W host Denver Summit W looking to bounce back from a challenging run of form. Chicago sit 16th in the standings with 17 points from 26 fixtures, having suffered 19 defeats across the campaign. Their offensive production has been limited, scoring 15 goals while conceding 60 in total, including 25 goals conceded in 12 home matches.

Denver Summit W enter the match in 10th position with 35 points, having registered nine victories and eight draws across 26 matches. Denver have been far more productive going forward, recording 42 goals across the season and showing consistent creative output through Y. Ryan and J. Beckie, who each hold five assists.

Denver secured a decisive 6-1 victory in the reverse fixture between the sides in late August. While Denver have recorded four draws and six defeats from 13 away outings, Chicago's defensive vulnerabilities and lack of goals give the visiting side a distinct competitive advantage.
