Portland Thorns and Angel City FC will kick off their 2025 NWSL campaigns with a thrilling matchup at Providence Park on Saturday night. The Thorns had a solid 2024 season, finishing in sixth place with 34 points and securing a playoff spot. However, their postseason run was short-lived as they suffered a disappointing exit in the quarterfinals against NJ/NY Gotham FC. This year, they aim to go further, boasting a revamped squad led by top talents such as Sophia Smith and Hina Sugita.
Meanwhile, Angel City FC had a woeful 2024 season, finishing in twelfth place with 24 points—way off from making it to the playoffs. Their inconsistent form, particularly on the road, was a key factor in their struggles. However, they have strengthened their attack during the offseason, adding key playmakers to complement Sydney Leroux and Alyssa Thompson. Angel City will need a strong start to make a statement in 2025.

Our Portland Thorns vs Angel City FC Prediction
Portland Thorns lead the pitch due to their strong home record, tactical discipline, and wealth of attacking options. Providence Park has long been a fortress for the Thorns, as they finished last season with a 7-3-3 home record, showcasing their ability to dominate in front of their passionate fans. In contrast, Angel City struggled away from home, finishing with a woeful record on the road—a major issue they must overcome if they hope to challenge for a playoff spot in 2025.
Portland’s biggest advantage is their offensive firepower, with Smith, Sugita, and Morgan Weaver forming a lethal attacking trio that can break down even the most resilient defenses. Angel City’s defensive reinforcements will be tested early, and their ability to handle Portland’s high press and quick counterattacks will be vital. That said, Portland’s dominance at home and attacking superiority make them the more likely winners in this contest. Our prediction for Portland Thorns vs Angel City FC: Over 2.5 goals.
