Houston Dash struggles for consistency in NWSL

The Houston Dash is not having one of their best moments in the NWSL. The team is struggling to maintain a positive streak in the league, with only two wins in 10 games and no consecutive victories. Before the international break, the Dash had a good result at home against the North Carolina Courage. Now they face the challenge of securing a second consecutive victory, which is unprecedented this season.

To achieve this, the Houston Dash must repair their defensive system. The team concedes more goals than it scores, with 11 goals scored and 18 conceded. With this performance, the Dash occupies 10th position in the ranking. The season is still in its early stages and the international break could be a valuable opportunity to plug their gaps and improve their consistency.

The Dash’s next challenge is against Racing Louisville, who currently hold the final playoff spot with a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses. Louisville’s team has been solid, with less than two losses and at least three goals scored, indicating they will be a tough opponent.

The historic matchups between Houston Dash and Racing Louisville are balanced but slightly favor the Dash. Since Racing Louisville joined the league in 2021, the teams have faced each other 12 times, with Houston winning six, drawing four and losing just two. In the 2023 campaign, the Dash had a 1-0 win and a 0-0 draw.

With defensive adjustments and momentum from their latest win, the Dash have a chance to change their trajectory in the NWSL and show they can be a competitive force in the league.
