We should be in for a classic match as the top two in the WNBA standings go head to head. Minnesota Lynx take on Golden State Valkyries looking to extend their Win Streak to seven games. Lynx have a Last 10 record of 9-1 and have lost just one of their previous 17 fixtures. Some record, and while Golden State Valkyries have been impressive too, getting a result at the Target Center is a big ask for the away team.
Lynx has a 14-5 home record this year, compared to Valkyries' 10-6 on the road. While Valkyries were looking sharp, winning six consecutive games, they headed into this one on the back of two losses, including a home defeat to Lynx on August 20th.
For our prediction, we think another Lynx victory is on the cards. It will be a superb game between the two current best WNBA sides, but one where we think the home side will prove victorious.
