It’s the home opener for the Chicago Red Stars. Last week featured the first matches of NWSL action under the newly formed A + E Lifetime deal. The Red Stars visited the Houston Dash last Saturday and came away with an ‘L’ but will look to bounce back at Toyota Park this weekend. With a newly-launched rebrand and high expectations, Chicago is looking to gain their first points of the season against their Midwest neighbors FC Kansas City.
