After sneaking past Gotham FC at SeatGeek Stadium last weekend, the Red Stars visit Portland, Oregon, with a spot in next week’s NWSL Championship on the line. The Portland Thorns, the #1 seeded team in the NWSL playoffs, are the favorites to win their third title. The Red Stars snapped an eight-year regular season winless streak against the Portland Thorns last month and will be looking to win on the road in Oregon for the first time since the league’s inaugural season.
Road to the Semifinals
Both the Red Stars and Thorns are regular fixtures in the NWSL playoffs; this year is no different, and the two will face off in the playoff semifinals for the second consecutive season.
