The San Diego Wave are gearing up for a critical match on the final day of the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) regular season, as they prepare to face the league’s top team, the Kansas City Current. With their playoff spot secure, the Wave are eager to improve their seed heading into the postseason, making this clash particularly significant.
While the Kansas City Current has already locked in the best record and has nothing at stake, San Diego finds themselves in a competitive position. Currently in fifth place with a total of 37 points, the Wave are just one point behind the Seattle Reign and are also only a point ahead of Gotham FC, who are sitting in seventh. A victory on Sunday could potentially elevate San Diego to third place, especially if the Orlando Pride draws against the Reign. Conversely, a loss could plunge them down to seventh if Gotham manages to secure a win over the North Carolina Courage.
The Current have had an impressive season, losing only twice and racking up 20 wins from their first 25 matches. This strong showing emphasizes the challenge San Diego will face in their quest for a better playoff position.
As the match approaches, fans can look forward to streaming options across various platforms, ensuring they can catch the action live. The game is set for Sunday, November 2, at 3 p.m. ET, taking place at CPKC Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, and will be broadcast on ESPN and ESPN Deportes.
This matchup not only highlights the competitive nature of the league but also showcases the determination of the Wave as they approach the playoffs with hopes of advancing further in the tournament.
