Boston has shown encouraging improvement since the summer break, winning three of its last five matches. The Legacy earned victories over Chicago Stars, Orlando Pride and Kansas City Current, while also drawing Bay FC, only falling 2-1 to the Washington Spirit. That stretch has moved Boston firmly into the playoff conversation despite its position near the bottom of the table for much of the first half of the season.
Portland has been more inconsistent recently. The Thorns defeated Racing Louisville 4-0, but followed that with losses to Seattle Reign and Denver Summit before drawing first place Gotham 2-2. Last weekend, the team played the Utah Royals, giving them another test immediately before Sunday’s trip to Boston in which they fell in a surprising 5-1 defeat.
The Thorns will look to Sophia Wilson and Pietra Tordin to provide attacking quality, while Boston will need another strong defensive performance to slow Portland’s dangerous attack. With both teams chasing valuable points, Sunday’s meeting should be a competitive battle at Centreville Bank Stadium.
