Washington Spirit
- Washington Spirit sit 2nd in the NWSL 2026 with 37 points from 21 games played, which is just 18 ahead of Bay FC in 15th with 19 points from 19 matches.
- However, Washington have won just one of their last five matches (W1, D1, L3), and this recent form drop has seen them slide down the table to where they are now.
Bay FC
- Bay FC have had a much worse run of form in the NWSL 2026 with no wins, one draw and four defeats in their last five.
- Bay have won just three of their ten road games in the NWSL 2026, with two draws and five defeats giving them a record of 3-2-5.
Head-to-Head
- Washington Spirit have won all 5 of the last head-to-head meetings.
- Bay haven't won either of their two away games against Washington since the start of 2026.
Key Players
Trinity Rodman scored 3 of Washington's last 5 goals, so she is the most likely scorer.
Betting Insights
- Adrian Gonzalez has done a fine job in charge of The Spirit since 18 July 2025, but their current possession-first, counter-press system doesn't suit the short odds of 1.51 ahead of this game with Bay.
- Both teams to score is live at 1.72, but our preference is to stick with the 5.31 underdog and under 4.5 goals in this one.
- Washington have scored 14 home goals in the NWSL 2026 (1.40 per game) and Bay have conceded 15 on their travels (1.50 per match) which means the visitors are always live.
Prediction
That's why we're siding with The Spirit to grind out the win on Sunday.
