Can the Thorns host a home playoff game? Here's what has to happen
xCruzo Brief
The Portland Thorns clinched a spot in next month’s NWSL postseason as the seventh seed, extending a 10th consecutive playoff appearance after beating NC Courage last Friday. With star forward Sophia Wilson back from suspension following a red-card-related hair pull, Portland now has a path to compete for the NWSL Championship Trophy. The club’s home-record advantage—8-5-2 at Providence Park versus 5-3-6 away—has raised the question of whether it can host a playoff game. The “odds” are low but possible, depending on Decision Day outcomes. Portland is projected to finish 6th or 7th, and would need a win over Houston to host. The scenarios discussed depend on results from Kansas City, Racing Louisville, Utah, Gotham, and Los Angeles.
