Storylines
Sky Blue FC: The team has struggled to generate offensive opportunities so far during group play, including zero shots on goal in the last match against the Utah Royals. Head coach Freya Coombe is missing key players like Carli Lloyd and Mallory Pugh, and defender Sabrina Flores has been a brighter spot for the team over two matches, but the squad will need to show it can generate offense before the knockout rounds.
Houston Dash: Second-year head coach James Clarkson has his players believing in themselves as the Dash continue to impress in group play. The Dash have a win and a draw, with three different scorers over two group matches. The backline has made adjustments to keep a clean sheet, and midfielder Kristie Mewis will continue to be a key component for the team moving forward.
Game prediction
Houston Dash show their offensive prowess again. Pick: Houston Dash 2, Sky Blue FC 0
