Chicago Stars Meet San Diego Wave in Crucial NWSL Matchup

Bridgeview, Illinois – The Chicago Stars will face the San Diego Wave on Saturday at SeatGeek Stadium in a critical match of the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) season. The game kicks off at 7:30 p.m. ET and promises excitement as both teams seek to improve their standings.

San Diego Wave currently holds the seventh spot on the table, with seven points from five matches, including two wins, one draw, and two losses. Notably, the Wave recently secured a 4-1 victory against Racing Louisville, thanks to two goals from Delphine Cascarino and additional goals from Kenza Dali and Melanie Barcenas. This win marks a turning point for the Wave after a slow start to the season.

In contrast, the Chicago Stars have struggled this season, finding themselves at 13th out of 14 teams in the standings. They have managed to gather only three points from five matches, scoring three goals while conceding 11, resulting in a minus-eight goal differential. The Stars did pick up a rare victory, a 2-1 win over Bay FC, where Ludmila scored both goals, but followed that with a disappointing 1-0 loss to the Utah Royals.

Historically, the matchup has favored the Chicago Stars, who won the last three encounters against the San Diego Wave, maintaining clean sheets in those games. However, the Stars have lost five consecutive home matches, and their most recent win at home was against the Wave last September.
