Post Game SummaryStat Savant
atDash at CourageHouston has won just once in its last five matches, while North Carolina has claimed three straight.
Our model leans North Carolina 2-1 in medium confidence, with the Courage favored at -170. The disparity reflects more than recent momentum; it reflects the structural gap between these sides.
The Dash have mustered just one win across their last five outings, a drought that puts the visitor in constant catch-up mode. North Carolina, meanwhile, has won three straight and sits sixth in the table with 30 points to Houston's 20.
Series history tilts toward the Courage as well: North Carolina leads the all-time matchup 3-2. That advantage carries through to the statistical edges too—the Courage have notched nine wins to Houston's five and 32 goals to the Dash's 20.
The Courage's goal differential tells the story of a team playing with purpose and precision. For Houston to steal points on the road, it will need to tighten its defense and turn scraps into chances; North Carolina is built to deny both.
The Dash are WWDLW over their last 10. The Courage are WLWWW over their last 10.
The Dash are up next at Reign FC (Aug 30), then at Pride. The Courage are up next at Current (Aug 29), then at Stars FC.
Courage to winMissWhere the result left them, with the rows either side. Points per game matters more than raw points this far into a season, the schedule is rarely even.
Goals by half across the top, then every player who appeared underneath — starters first, then whoever came on. Shots carry their shots-on-target in brackets; the keeper’s line is saves and goals conceded.
