The Houston Dash and Bay FC will lock horns on May 24, 2025, in what promises to be a fascinating NWSL contest. Kick-off is set for 23:00 CEST across Italy, Germany, France and Spain, and 22:00 BST in the UK. Fans around Europe can tune in late on Saturday evening to catch all the live action.
This match comes in Week 10 of the NWSL season, which features just six fixtures due to CONCACAF W Champions Cup commitments for other clubs. Despite the lighter slate, there is plenty to play for as both sides look to climb the table and build momentum ahead of a crucial stretch of fixtures.
How are both teams coming into this?
The Houston Dash have shown mixed form so far this season, picking up valuable points at home but struggling on the road. After a midweek draw that showcased their resilience, the Dash will be eager to leverage their home support and secure all three points at their own stadium.
Bay FC, the 2024 expansion side, have continued to impress since their inaugural campaign. They come into this fixture off the back of a solid defensive display and flashy attacking moments. Having recently played at a neutral venue in San Francisco, the team will be keen to find consistency and prove they can grind out results away from home.
Our forecast
Expect an open encounter with both teams pushing forward. The Dash will look to dominate possession and exploit the wings, while Bay FC’s counter-attacking threat could catch Houston on the break. Goals at both ends look likely.
We lean slightly towards a home win, given Houston’s strong displays in front of their supporters. However, don’t be surprised if Bay FC snatches a point late on. A 2-1 victory for the Dash or a 2-2 draw are appealing scorelines to consider.
