Chicago Stars will look to win when they host North Carolina Courage on Friday night at SeatGeek Stadium. After a turbulent start to the season, the Stars decided to part ways with Lorne Donaldson, with his assistant, Masaki Hemmi, taking over. However, Hemmi also departed last month after a mutual agreement with the club, with Ella Masar taking over. She will be in charge until Martin Sjogren from the Swedish side Hammarby takes over. Let's hope the gamble pays off!
Likewise, North Carolina Courage are in the middle of a managerial change that may affect their campaign this season. They recently fired their head coach, Sean Nahas, who has been with them since 2021. His assistant, Nathan Thackeray, took over with the primary objective of improving their position in the standings. North Carolina is ninth in the 2025 NWSL table with 19 points from 15 matches. The new head coach certainly has work to do.

Our Chicago Stars FC vs N Carolina Courage Prediction
There couldn't be a better fixture for Chicago Stars to improve their point tally and turn around their campaign. They have recorded just a single win this term, leaving them in 13th spot with eight points. However, the Stars lost just once in their last five matches, indicating a team determined to win at some point. They'll want to take advantage of North Carolina's struggles on the road to grab the precious three points. This is the second meeting between Chicago and North Carolina this season, with the visitors winning the reverse fixture 2-0. However, we're backing Chicago to end their winless run with a hard-fought 2-1 victory.
Our prediction for Chicago Stars vs North Carolina Courage: Over 2.5 goals.
