Washington Spirit and Portland Thorns will meet in the semi-finals of the 2025 NWSL playoffs on Saturday evening at Audi Field. The Spirit will look to win and advance to the finals, where they can end their 4-year wait for the championship. They took a step forward towards realizing this dream after defeating Racing Louisville 3-1 on penalties. It was a worrying performance for Andrian Gonzalez, who will be keen to get a more convincing win this weekend.
Portland Thorns, on the other hand, didn’t need any extra time to sail to the semi-finals. Rob Gale’s side defeated San Diego Wave FC 1-0, thanks to a sublime header from Reilyn Turner. The Thorns maintained their defensive composure throughout the game while absorbing San Diego’s pressure. Impressively, it’s the first time that they are advancing to the semi-finals since 2023. The last time the Thorns won the championship was in 2022.

Our Washington Spirit vs Portland Thorns Prediction
The stakes will definitely be high this weekend at Audi Field. Therefore, we expect neither side to overcommit themselves in attack. The Spirit has been out of form lately, winning none of their last four matches in the league. In fact, they lost two of those matches. As for the Thorns, they are the in-form team in this clash, having won their last three matches. The most impressive part is that they haven’t conceded a goal in their previous three assignments while scoring five goals. We think their newfound defensive resilience will help them frustrate the Spirit and force a 1-1 draw in regulation.
Our prediction for Washington Spirit vs Portland Thorns: Under 2.5 goals.
