The Women’s National Soccer League This Saturday we have playoff games against the San Diego Wave and the Utah Royals.
Only three regular-season Shield winners have won the Championship in the previous 12 full NWSL campaigns, so the saying “anything can happen” holds true here, making predictions difficult.
Nevertheless! In this article we have Equalizer will focus on some tactical details and how each of the four games might play out.
San Diego Wave vs. Utah Royals
Utah is a solid defensive outfit and will absolutely need to be at their best without the ball to stand any chance of winning this game. They can match San Diego in their starting formation and try to set up player for player in central midfield, but that aggressive strategy is extremely difficult to implement against the Wave.
