Lineup Prediction

Usually, when a team has a 1-4-2 record over their last seven, I would be tempted to predict changes, maybe even lots of changes. But Coach Nico Estevez seems to be fairly locked in on this XI.

Being a road game, I’ll go with the more defensive Ema Twumasi over Nanu at right back.
