The Houston Dash hit the road for another important match as they try to continue climbing the NWSL table. We asked our staff for their predictions on tonight’s match against Racing Louisville.

Rudy - 2-1 Dash win
(Record: 5-11)

The Houston Dash are in strong form, and while last week’s home match ended in a draw, it was still a positive result against one of the league’s top clubs. Tonight, they face a Racing Louisville side that’s been struggling, and Houston will look to capitalize on the opportunity to secure a crucial win.

Dustyn - 1-0 Dash loss
(Record: 7-9)

This run of form seems to be legit. Houston outplayed Seattle on Sunday but only left with a draw. Revenge will be on their mind as Louisville won at Shell Energy Stadium this season. This Racing team seems to set up well with how the Dash play and I can see them completing the season sweep.

Manny - 2-0 Dash win
(Record: 7-9)

The Dash are making a statement in the league, while Louisville find themselves on a downward trajectory despite last week’s win over San Diego Wave. If Houston can assert their dominance and strike early, they’ll be well positioned to secure all three points.

Joey - 2-1 Dash win
(Record: 6-8)

The Dash are on a great run of form and playing their best soccer in years. Louisville are also in solid form going unbeaten in their last three. Expect this to be a close match where I think the Dash will slightly come out on top.

Diego - 1-0 Dash win
(Record: 5-8)

Louisville are known for their gritty, physical style of play, but they remain the only current playoff team with a negative goal differential (-4). The Dash have the mentality needed to secure a win, and the addition of Clarissa Larisey could provide the true No. 9 presence they’ve been missing.
