The Chicago Red Stars are back in action this weekend as they play host to the Houston Dash on Sunday.
The Red Stars are currently on a three match losing skid, after dropping games to Orlando Pride, Sky Blue FC, and most recently, Portland Thorns FC. Chicago is currently sitting in third on the league table with five games remaining on their schedule, and if they are going to make a run for playoff positioning, the timing is now in regard to the level of urgency.
Chicago’s quest for a fifth consecutive playoff appearance can only be considered an uphill battle.
