The Washington Spirit are looking to maintain their good road form today as they head out to Illinois to take on the Chicago Red Stars. A win for Washington, coupled with the right results in Orlando and Portland tomorrow, could see the Spirit move up into first place in the NWSL standings. However, defeating the Red Stars away from home is always a tall task, and Chicago has found their footing after a wobbly start to the year.
Key player: Ashley Sanchez
The Red Stars have made being organized and hard to play through their foundation for years, and this year’s team is no different.
