Quick Preview: Dash v Racing
I’m a little late posting a preview for tonight's match vs. The Houston Dash, so I will keep the preview short and sweet. The Dash are in a group of teams fighting for a playoff spot with about 5 other teams. All of these teams are capable of winning or losing any match. Houston being the home team tonight should give them a slight edge. Zach Allen-Kelly predicted “pain" for tonight's match in our predictions column for the State of Louisville. He is also a terrible prognosticator, so we won't read much into that. I expect a bounce back performance tonight with Racing getting at least a point.
One thing to watch for will be the starting XI. Coach Holly has either made wholesale changes or none at all (barring a replacement for injury). It would be nice to see how this team looks with 2 to 4 changes. There may be a chance to see that tonight. I predicted earlier this week that we might see a full NWSL debut for Katie Lund tonight, which would be fun. Racing will be without Miramontez on the bench due to her red card, so look for at least one difference in the roster vs. Wednesday.
