Washington Spirit W form and stats

One match played away so far in the NWSL for Washington Spirit W and it was a tie. Last season the statistics for their away games were 0 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses from 11 games.

Washington Spirit W are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 2-2 draw at Racing Louisville (placed 9th). It looked so good for Washington Spirit W vs Racing Louisville, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.

That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus OL Reign W.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Washington playing away, we found 4 games. Results were 2 away wins, 1 draw and 1 home win.

Washington Spirit W have another fixture that requires travelling in just four days, a Nwsl Challenge Cup Women match vs Sky Blue W. A demanding diary for the visitors!
