The San Diego Wave, riding the momentum of a three-game winning streak, returns home to Snapdragon Stadium on Saturday night to take on the always formidable Portland Thorns.
After a tough 10th-place finish last season, managing just six victories, the Wave has flipped the script in stunning fashion. Now sitting third in the NWSL table, San Diego’s resurgence has been one of the league’s standout stories, as they continue their climb toward title contention.
But standing in their way is a Portland side that’s never an easy opponent. The Thorns bring grit, pedigree, and plenty of firepower, and they’re coming off a narrow 1-0 win over the Orlando Pride, courtesy of defender Reyna Reyes’ early strike in the 16th minute.
With both teams eyeing crucial points, Saturday’s clash promises to be a key litmus test for San Diego’s championship credentials.
