This fixture comes at a pivotal moment: it’s the final weekend before the league’s six-week summer break, offering both teams one more shot to build momentum. Historically, these sides are evenly matched—each has secured three wins in head-to-head meetings, with one draw recorded, making this encounter anyone’s game.
How are both teams coming into this?
The San Diego Wave have been solid at home so far this season, combining a balanced attack with a disciplined defensive setup. They’ll aim to capitalize on their familiar surroundings and vocal home crowd to maintain their unbeaten run on local turf.
By contrast, the Washington Spirit have found life on the road more challenging, dropping points in several away fixtures. However, they boast moments of flair in attack that can trouble any opposition, and they’ll be determined to avoid a winless streak before the midseason break.
Our forecast
Given their strong home form and the motivation to finish the first half of the season on a high, San Diego enter this match as slight favourites. We expect them to control possession and create the clearer scoring chances early on.
That said, the Spirit will not go down without a fight. We foresee a competitive affair, but predict the Wave will edge it by a narrow margin—our forecast is a 2-1 victory for San Diego.
