NWSL leaders, the Kansas City Current, travel to Providence Park on Saturday to take on a Portland Thorns side looking to cement their playoff place. KC have swept all before them so far this season, winning 13 of their 16 league games to open up an 11 point lead at the top of the standings. A first ever NWSL Shield is almost a certainty, and barring a dramatic loss of form, they will be firm favorites to become NWSL Playoff champions for the third time in their history. 

Portland are also in a strong position to reach the NWSL Playoffs, thanks to a fine run of form that has seen them pick up ten points from their last five matches. Last time out, they were held to a 1-1 draw by North Carolina, but recent victories over the likes of Seattle and Chicago have moved the Thorns up to fifth in the table.

Portland Thorns - Kansas City NWSL Key Points

  1. KC have gone 272 minutes without conceding a goal
  2. Portland have lost their last 4 games against Kansas
  3. Each of KC's last 4 games has featured under 2.5 goals
  4. KC have won 13 of their 16 NWSL matches so far this season

Our Portland Thorns vs Kansas City NWSL Prediction

KC looked unstoppable at the minute, so despite Portland's solid form, we are predicting another win for the Current. Goals have been at a premium in recent KC games, with each of their last four fixtures featuring under 2.5 goals. It is also worth noting that Kansas have conceded a miserly 10 goals in their 16 league fixtures this season, comfortably the best defensive record in the NWSL. Given those stats, we are predicting another low-scoring game on Saturday, as Kansas move one step closer to securing the NWSL Shield. Our prediction for Portland Thorns vs Kansas City Current is: Kansas City to win and under 2.5 goals. 

Prediction:

 

Kansas City to win and under 2.5 goals
