League Watch - 7/24-26
Match Week 15 7/24-26 (all times Pacific)
Okay folks, here are my non-ACFC Games To Watch:
- Bay vs Houston - Kennedy Fuller goal very possible
- Portland vs Gotham - Could get to see Portland lose at Providence #rare
- Boston vs KC - We are rooting for Boston on this one because a) we love a dog and b) it would be good for ACFC in the standings if Boston win
Which games will you be tuning in for? What are your predictions? Starting lineups? Scores, reds, yellows, which players get G+A?
Overall W-L-D record for each team is followed by 5-match form (old-new L-to-R), e.g. “San Diego 3-2-1 WWLDW.” Form only includes league games, within that time frame Gotham and KC both played in Challenge Cup.
| Home | Away | Field | Date/ Time | Where to watch | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Orlando, 6-8-2 WLWLL | Chicago, 3-12-0 LLWLL | Inter&Co | Fri 5pm | Victory+ | With Jordyn Huitema placed on SEI, who will CHI use as their #9 for the rest of the season? Marta is back with ORL after an excused absence for the men’s WC final last weekend. Both teams will hope to put together a strong performance after two consecutive losses. |
| Houston, 4-7-4 WLLDD | Bay, 5-6-3 LLDWW | Shell Energy | Fri 5pm | Victory+ | Coming off the break, BAY drew BOS 2-2 and then had shutout multigoal wins against LOU and NC. They face a HOU team struggling to hold onto points from winning position, after giving up goals to WAS for an L, then DEN and LOU for two draws. |
| Portland, 8-5-3 LDWLL | Gotham, 9-3-3 WLWWW | Providence | Fri 7pm | Prime | POR have been good at home but recently their defense has been regressing to the mean from a very overperforming run before the break, can a hot GFC take advantage even with no Jordynn Dudley? Also maybe we get Sam Kerr’s first start since rejoining NWSL. |
| Boston, 4-8-4 LDWWL | KC, 8-6-1 WWWLD | Centreville Bank | Sat 2pm | ION | BOS only loss since the break was against WAS. They beat ORL on the same field where KC lost to ORL. BOS did just have a three game week but they’ll also be at home. Watch the Laney Rouse/Nichelle Prince matchup if it happens, that’ll be a fun one along with Michelle Cooper vs either Lilly Reale or Emerson Elgin on the other end. |
| NC, 6-5-3 WWWLL | Utah, 8-4-3 WDLLW | WakeMed | Sat 4:45pm | ION | No Manaka, some problems for NC in the past few weeks. Ashley Sanchez is under a lot of pressure to make goals happen. UTA look better with Kaleigh Riehl back available, but miss the speed of Janni Thomsen joining in the attack since she was traded to LCL. They did extend former ACFC player Miyabi through 2028, which is great for Miyabi and *congrats happy for you meme* at the team. |
| San Diego, 9-5-2 LWWLD | Seattle, 5-7-2 WLLWL | Snapdragon | Sun 2pm | CBSSN | West Coast best coast and all that. SEA shocked POR 2-0 in the 2nd Cascadia rivalry game of the season and then managed to score ANOTHER two against GFC the following week, even though they ended up losing that game. Maybe Laura Harvey decided she does like scoring goals now? In all seriousness, SD has a really good defense so the “long ball to Maddie Dahlien and pray” approach needs to have some variation thrown in if they want any chance this week. |
| Washington, 9-3-3 WWWLW | Denver, 5-5-4 LWLDW | Audi | Sun 4pm | Victory + | WAS gets one of their few home games in this tough schedule stretch, they should take advantage of it to score some table points. However they will be missing Rose Kouassi, Gift Monday, and Deb Abiodun as WAFCON kicks off this weekend. All three are key components of their attack. DEN now have Heaps on deck to captain/start as much as she’s available, too. |
| ACFC, 7-6-1 LLWWW | Louisville, 2-10-2 LLLLD | BMO | Sun 6pm | ESPN/ESPN Deportes/ESPN app | It’s Pride Night! And the players we traded to and from LOU in the offseason are both gay? Amazing. Let’s welcome Macey Hodge back to BMO and get Ary Borges a win over her old team. Also, we will be missing Prisca for at least a few weeks while she is with the Zambia NT for WAFCON - good luck Copper Queens! |
We are halfway through the season by number of games played btw! It is no longer "way too early" to start calling your end of year award picks, shield winners, etc now that we are looking at about half the data.
