Houston will look to replicate their 2-0 home win against the Reign earlier in the season. A midweek win would see them overtake the Washington Spirit and Gotham FC, landing them on the sixth position in the NWSL table.
The Reign will aim for a third consecutive league win that would see them edge closer to a top-two finish to earn that first-round bye in playoffs. One of those wins was against the Dash by five goals to one on Aug. 7.
Houston Dash vs. OL Reign: Form
On Wednesday night, the Dash will aim to defend BBVA Stadium once again. Houston has been particularly good at home this season, winning four games, tying three and losing just one. The Dash’s 2-5-0 away record this season is the reason why they find themselves outside the playoff zone in the league’s eighth position with nine games left in the regular season.
On the other hand, visitors OL Reign head into this matchup with better form than in early July, winning five of their last six matches. The Reign has reached the point in their season where team chemistry is finally showing. Lyon loanees in Sarah Bouhaddi, Eugenie Le Sommer and Dzsenifer Marozsan, newcomers Alana Cook and Rose Lavelle and veterans Megan Rapinoe, Jess Fishlock and Bethany Balcer are all linking well on the pitch. A 5-1 win over Houston at Cheney Stadium earlier in the season was proof of what the team is now capable of doing.
Houston Dash vs. OL Reign: Head to head
OL Reign has dominated this matchup since the two teams met for the first time in April 2014. It took the Dash four years and ten games to win their first game of the series.
OL Reign, formerly known as Seattle Reign FC, leads the all-time series against the Houston Dash 14-3-3.
