Seattle Reign vs. Racing Louisville: Gamethread
Seattle Reign FC are back at Lumen Field for a Sunday afternoon match against Racing Louisville. The game kicks off at 3 PM PT and will air on KONG TV locally and stream for free on KING5+, NWSL+ and CBS Sports Golazo.
The 2-9-2 Seattle Reign are looking for points against the 3-4-6 Racing Louisville.
The Reign will be hoping to stay defensively organized against a transitional Louisville attack, something they struggled with in previous weeks. After 13 games, Seattle has scored 13 goals and conceded 25 – with 15 of those goals coming in the four games prior to last weekend, when they played to a scoreless draw against Portland.
What to Watch
- Can the Reign make Racing, who had a midweek match, chase the game on tired legs?
- Racing likes to be disruptive in the midfield. Who wins the midfield duels?
- The Reign need to find an offensive spark while staying organized defensively. Can they do it?
