Remember back in April when I did my NWSL prediction post? If not you can check it out here. Well the internationals are all back, teams have played without some of their star players and there is only around 3 month left of the regular season. Some teams have played more games than others, such as Houston playing 15 games and Utah, Reign and Washington only playing 13. It is a close call at the top 2 at the moment with just 1 point separating the teams and similarly it is a close one between spots 3 through to 7 so it really could go either way.
So remember when I predicted how the league was hopefully going to look at the end of the season well that is below...
Portland
Utah
North Carolina
Chicago
Orlando
Reign
Houston
Washington Spirit
New Jersey
But how is it really looking with October getting ever so close.
Portland
North Carolina
Chicago
Washington
Reign
Houston
Utah
Orlando
New Jersey.
If we compare the predictions to the actual standings well I have got a grand total of 2 correct so far with Portland sitting at the top and New Jersey at the bottom of the table. What is really surprising me though is Orlando sitting in 8th, I honestly had high hopes for them this season with Marc Skinner in charge but it doesn't seem to be clicking yet at all. Portland though are doing brilliantly and have showed that even with the internationals away they are still a strong side. I just hope they can keep this up. Utah are another side that have really surprised me I had them up in the playoff spots but something just isn't working right for them at the moment and they are down in 7th but as I said earlier it is that close up there they may be able to claw something back especially if Press carries on in the form she is in.
So let's how when I do the finally league position post and round up in October that I have a few more correct and teams start gelling and playing as they should be doing as each team has so much potential if they can just click.
See you soon,
Lucy
