Quick Racing v Dash Preview

Of course the last time Houston came to town, this happened…

That was a great moment. Will Ebony be on the bench again for a chance to repeat history?

With Nadia Nadim out for the remainder of the season, Racing will be looking to replace her attacking prowess. If I were selecting the line up against Houston on Saturday, this would be my formation:

Obviously I’m not, so we will see if Baucom is preferred to Salmon again. On Soccer City Radio, Lance McGarvey talked about a playoff push. I guess this is still technically possible, but the odds are so low I would be willing to make easy money betting against it. That being said, it's a bit too early to put in a lineup of all younger players. I do think we will see a drastically changed lineup in at least a couple matches in October. If Racing were to take 3 points at home vs. Houston, and another 3 against Gotham at home then we could start to dream a bit about the playoffs.

Racing and the Dash are familiar opponents at this point. Racing has matched up well against Houston, so I give Louisville a shot at taking all 3 points at home. I have not seen any updated injury reports for this week, so I will tweet those out either today or tomorrow. As for a prediction, I will go with a 2-1 Racing victory, with Houston getting a late consolation goal.
