Seattle Reign (W)
Seattle Reign (W) come into this Sunday's home match against Houston Dash (W) having won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five matches in all current competitions, a consistent but not spectacular run which has seen them fall to 8th place in the NWSL 2026 table with 28 points from 20 games .
Houston Dash (W)
- The Reign will be very happy to slow the tempo down and control the play against Houston's high-pressing game, which should cause some issues for Fabrice Gautrat's side, who have been aggressive, high-pressing since he took over in January 2025.
- Houston's away record in NWSL 2026 is 2 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses from 10 trips and although they can certainly bite Seattle in transition, it's difficult to recommend them for anything other than a double result because of their inconsistent form.
Head-to-Head
- The last five head-to-heads in all competitions are: Seattle = W1, D2, L2 and Houston = W2, D2, L1.
- Seattle Reign (W) have conceded just nine goals in nine NWSL 2026 home matches, a rate of 1.00 per-game.
- Houston Dash (W) have given up 16 goals in ten NWSL 2026 away matches, a leaky average of 1.60 per-game.
Betting Insights
- The oddsmakers are having Seattle at 1.88, Houston at 3.45 and the draw at 3.7.
- But Houston's aggressive press should see them get on the scoresheet, so the 0-0 head-to-head and the 2.1 odds on 'BTTS - No' also make a lot of sense for what should be a cagey game decided by a one or two goal margin.
Prediction
However, Seattle look a little more reliable than Houston, who will try and force turnovers and play vertical soccer, so if the Reign can hold the line, they should have enough to win this one.
