After losing three matches in a row, the Chicago Red Stars are in the midst of a four match unbeaten streak.
The Red Stars finally clinched a playoff birth with a 3-2 victory against the Houston Dash last week. Chicago marches into the regular season finale and a potential playoff preview against the Portland Thorns.
