- Washington have the record in the NWSL 2026 away from home (W4, D2, L1) and are averaging 1.71 goals per away game.
- Boston are averaging 1.44 goals both scored and conceded per home game in the NWSL 2026.
- Trinity Rodman is on fire in front of goal for the Spirit, netting three of their eight goals in the last five matches.
Two good attacks meet in Foxborough
Washington Spirit, fresh from two very good results in the NWSL 2026, will travel to the northeast of the US to take on Boston Legacy FC (W) on Sunday in this preview. The Spirit sit second on 27 points from 13 matches, while Boston are 14th with 13 points from 14 games.
Amanda has been Boston's "money player" lately, scoring three of their six goals in the past five matches, and keeping them in games that they may have otherwise lost. They have won one, drawn two and lost two of their last five in all competitions and seem to be on a level that is around their best.
The Revs have been a lot better at home recently, drawing 2-2 with Bay FC and beating Chicago Stars 2-0 in their last two home fixtures. Filipa Patão has brought a Benfica style of play to Boston, which involves a possession-first approach but with flexible shapes and aggressive pressing when the trigger is right.
Spirit are flying high
Washington will arrive in good form, having won four of their last five in all competitions and three wins in a row. Their latest two results - a 2-1 home win over Houston Dash and a 2-0 away win at North Carolina Courage - will be a solid return for their efforts.
Adrián González has set up a high-tempo 4-3-3 that has been working a treat of late, with the Spirit counter-pressing well, getting the ball up the field quickly and playing some impressive vertical passes.
Trinity Rodman is the game-breaker in the final third, having scored three of the Spirit's eight goals across their last five, and Washington have the edge in the creative areas. Backing both teams to score, priced at 1.7, seems fair for a game that should see plenty of attacking intent, while the 2.5-goal line is live in a matchup of two teams that like to play. For those looking at betting tips, both teams to score stands out.
Washington have the quality to win
Washington Spirit are the clear favorites here at 1.82 and Boston Legacy FC are overpriced at 3.94. I would be tempted by the latter, but this is a tricky fixture and the draw is priced well at 3.5.
This Boston Legacy FC (W) vs Washington Spirit (W) prediction should be entertaining because of the contrast in style - Boston like to keep the ball and Washington prefer to attack and counter-attack. Patão will have her team ready to compete, but the Spirit have the better quality and are on a roll, which should see them home.
A final Boston Legacy FC (W) vs Washington Spirit (W) analysis is that both teams have scored in four of Washington's last six and three of Boston's last four, which fits the recent scoring trends of both outfits.
