Match Preview: Portland Thorns vs Chicago Red Stars

The penultimate episode of the season will kick off at 1 p.m Pacific when the Portland Thorns host Chicago Red Stars at Providence Park.

It was May when both clubs met for the first time this year, and that game ended in a 2-2 draw with goals scored by Pugh and Hill for the Red Stars while Hina Sugita and Sophia Smith scored for Portland.

This upcoming match is a must-win for both. For the Thorns, three points will mean being closer to claiming the Supporters Shield, while for the Red Stars it will mean being closer to securing a playoff spot.
