Two clubs on the rise are squaring off, as No. 8 Seattle visits No. 13 Louisville with both sides looking to further ignite late-season pushes in tonight’s Racing Louisville vs Seattle Reign clash.
Seattle arrives on a four-match unbeaten run, averaging two goals per game over its last six behind Maddie Mercado’s four tallies — including Friday’s 1-0 game-winner against No. 16 Chicago.
Louisville counters with a three-game winning streak, taking 13 points off its last five fixtures after Saturday’s 4-1 rout of No. 14 Boston.
Racing’s Kayla Fischer and Emma Sears have combined for 11 goals and eight assists this season, while the Reign’s Ainsley McCammon has emerged as a top creator with four assists.
Seattle holds a 5-1-6 head-to-head advantage over Louisville, losing just once to the 2021 NWSL expansion team at the 2023 Challenge Cup.
“I think they’re beginning to click,” Reign midfielder Angharad James-Turner said of tonight’s opponent. “For us, it’s concentrating on what we’ve been good at the last few weeks and being aware of threats that they have — and they have a few threats.”
Louisville hosts Seattle tonight at 6:30 PM ET (NWSL+).
