REF’s picks

Portland Thorns hold the upper hand at home against a struggling Boston Legacy side, making them a solid selection to secure all three points. Their recent attacking displays, highlighted by a four-goal outburst against Orlando, show they have the firepower to break down a leaky visiting defence. However, inconsistency remains a concern for Portland after recent draws against lower-ranked teams, leaving room for Boston to potentially spring a surprise if they repeat their previous shock away form.
