The NWSL season is officially entering the final stretch, as the final quarter of games await the Chicago Red Stars. Chicago currently sits in third place in the standings. With 6 games left, and after two straight home losses, the push for playoff positioning gets tighter this Sunday against FC Kansas City.
Chicago has recently dropped points against other playoff contenders in Portland and Seattle. However, both Chicago and Kansas City have had their seasons take different turns this year, with Chicago mostly in the upper half of the league table, while FCKC has had their struggles getting results.
