The Chicago Red Stars will visit their potential semi-final hosts in the last match of the regular season. The Red Stars were able to clinch their playoff spot last week against the Houston Dash. A win or a draw against the Thorns this weekend will likely mean they face Portland again for the semi-final. Chicago currently hold a tie breaker over Orlando.
Last season, the Red Stars found themselves in a similar situation last year when they played Washington Spirit in the final week of the regular season, before heading to D.C. to meet them in the semifinal.
