Kansas City Current (W)

vs

Bay FC (W)

Preview

Kansas City Current

• Kansas City Current have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five matches.
• Kansas City Current have looked like a much improved team since Chris Armas took charge on 15 November 2025 and their style is more front-foot, high-tempo and vertical than most in the NWSL 2026.
• They press opponents high up the field and try to win the ball back quickly so that they can attack.

Bay FC

• Bay FC have won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five games.
• Emma Coates has turned around the Bay FC's identity since taking charge on 4 December 2025 and they now play a more possession-based, build from the back style.
• Bay FC are 13th in the NWSL 2026, with 26 points from 25 matches, and the table suggests they still have a lot of work to do to close the gap on the top half of the standings.
• However, they can get into trouble when teams press them hard, which will certainly be the case on Saturday.

Head-to-Head

• They've had the measure of Bay FC in the past, winning all five of the last five head-to-head matchups, and beat them 2-1 away from home when the two teams last met in NWSL 2026 three weeks ago.
• Bay have not won either of their past two away games to Kansas City and Current's home form has been a fortress during NWSL 2026 with nine wins, four draws and no losses recorded in 13 games to date.

Betting Insights

• Current's odds for this game are a little short in our opinion, but Bay are still 5.51 and the draw is 4.4.
• Over 2.5 goals looks a good play at 1.52 as, although Bay have only scored five goals in their past five, two of those have been struck by the reliable Karlie Lema.

Prediction

• The home win is the correct play here with the form, odds, head-to-head record and home advantage all pointing in Current's favour.
• We'll take the favorite at 1.47 for now.
