The Liberty will be without Marine Fauthoux due to a knee injury. Betnijah Laney-Hamilton is out due to personal reasons.
Karlie Samuelson is questionable for the Fire due to a foot injury. Teja Oblak is questionable with a quad injury. Nyadiew Puoch is questionable with an ankle injury.
On paper the Liberty should win this game comfortably and oddsmakers clearly agree. The problem is the Liberty have looked bad lately, losing three of their last four games, and they’re on the end of a back to back. We have to remember that the Liberty are still working through roster adjustments due to injuries and there’s a new coaching staff in place. A sluggish start probably isn’t that surprising. The Fire not only have the rest advantage, but this will also be the third meeting this season between these teams. There should be some familiarity here and that should lead to a competitive effort. I’ll take a stab with the Fire and the points.
