Portland Thorns will host San Diego Wave on Sunday night at Providence Park in the quarterfinals of the 2025 NWSL playoffs. Despite their inconsistencies this season, Portland Thorns had to dig deep to finish third in the regular season standings with 40 points. Rob Gale’s side defeated both Angel City and Houston Dash 2-0 to pip their challengers to the coveted No. 3 spot. They’ll also be glad to head into the postseason with a winning momentum.
San Diego Wave, on the other side of the pitch, failed to impress in the second half of the season. They struggled to win matches after the July break, and could’ve easily missed out on a postseason place. However, Jonas Eidevall’s side showed their resilience by winning two of their last three matches, including a 6-1 demolition of Chicago Stars. They have shown tremendous improvements lately, making them exciting underdogs on Sunday.

Our Portland Thorns vs San Diego Wave FC Prediction
Portland Thorns will want to progress to the semifinals without any hiccups on Sunday. The 2022 champions come into the postseason in excellent form and could prove stubborn to defeat if they bundle out San Diego. Their defense has been impressive lately, keeping three clean sheets in the last five assignments. They could use this to silence San Diego’s attackers, who have scored 10 goals over the previous three matches. Note that the visitors have the H2H advantage, losing to the Thorns just once in their last six clashes. Still, we think they’ll come out short in a 2-1 win for the hosts.
Our prediction for Portland Thorns vs San Diego Wave: Both teams to score.
