Portland Thorns FC is back in action with a noon soccer match against Kansas City NWSL. It is the third time that the two sides have met in 2021, with the previous two meetings going in Portland’s favor. And it won’t get much easier for KC, as the Thorns are on a bit of a roll right now. They’re currently riding a four-game unbeaten streak.
This is a slightly different Kansas City squad then the one that the Thorns have seen. Most notably, KC traded away stud midfielder Amy Rodriguez in exchange for Kristen Hamilton, Katelyn Rowland, and Hailie Mace.
