The Washington Spirit will be looking to break out of a rough patch tonight as they travel to New Jersey to take on Sky Blue FC. The Spirit’s middling recent form has resulted in a record of 0W-2D-3L in their last five, and Washington has fallen from top of the table to just outside the playoff spots in 5th. However, there is reason for optimism: the Spirit have beaten Sky Blue twice this year, and have gone 7W-2D-0L in the last 9 meetings between the teams.
However, a coaching change has boosted Sky Blue’s play of late, with wins over Chicago and Utah coming before this past weekend’s 1-0 loss in Orlando.
