The Houston Dash are looking for points this afternoon in the Windy City. We asked our staff for their predictions on the match against the Chicago Red Stars.

Rudy - 1-0 Dash loss
(Record: 6-6)

Houston is without their coach and leader Fran Alonso once again. The Dash are just in such a weird phase right now with the team struggling to put anything together. Jane Campbell tends to put in great shifts but she alone can’t keep the team afloat. The Dash lose today in the Windy City.

Dustyn - 2-0 Dash loss
(Record: 9-3)

Mal Swanson seems to score multiple goals every time she plays the Dash. I think she does it again with a brace to send Houston into the Olympics break looking to hit the reset button.

Manny - 1-0 Dash loss
(Record: 5-6)

The Dash usually get the upper hand against Chicago but this isn’t the ideal time for Houston. There is no attacking threat, no goals, a major defenseive absence with Tarciane, and Chicago is getting hot. I see Chicago getting a win before the break.
