The Portland Thorns play host to Racing Louisville under the lights tonight at Providence Park, as the NWSL regular season approaches its climax.

Storylines So Far

When we last saw the Thorns (8-7-8, 32 points) in action— just three days ago— they experienced a heartbreaking draw in Kansas City. They will have to have a short memory as they turn the page to their penultimate regular season home game. Portland currently sits fourth in the table, but has a game in hand over all the teams above them. Therefore, Portland still controls their own destiny in the race for a first place finish and the NWSL Shield.
