Homecoming: Chicago Red Stars vs Portland Thorns, NWSL Week 2 Preview

It’s “Sweet Home Chicago” for the Red Stars as they get ready for their home opener this weekend against Portland Thorns FC. It’s a double header for Chi-Town’s soccer teams, who will play in a double header with the Chicago Fire and the Chicago Red Stars featuring at SeatGeek Stadium this Saturday.

Spring is upon us and the weather forecast looks sunny this weekend. Which will hopefully lead friendly strikes on the pitch, but the Red Stars opponent on Saturday is more familiar foe than friend, as Chicago has not won a match against Portland since 2013.
