Utah Royals FC versus Chicago Stars FC is an exciting NWSL clash on Friday night at America First Field. Both teams have not had the best starts to the season, with Utah Royals still searching for their first win of the season. The Royals will be working hard to bounce back from their 1-0 loss against Portland Thorns last weekend, a game that highlighted their offensive struggles this season. This was the second straight game the Royals have gone without scoring a goal.
Chicago Stars, on the other hand, have been one of the worst teams in the NWSL this season. They opened the 2025 campaign with three straight losses before ending the embarrassing slide with a 2-1 win against Bay FC on Sunday night. They were very clinical against Bay FC, with Ludmila scoring both goals in the first half. That's despite seeing only 32% of the ball throughout the match. This result certainly gives them something solid to build on.

Our Utah Royals FC vs Chicago Stars FC Prediction
Both teams will be shooting for early goals in this encounter and will probably bag all three points. Utah Royals will be more concerned about their defense than their attack, conceding eight goals already this season.
They have also failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five matches. Their head coach, Jimmy Coenraets, will also know that the Stars have a psychological advantage after winning their previous five meetings. However, the Stars are not playing well and should struggle again on the road. We see Utah Royals winning 2-1 to kickstart their 2025 season. Our prediction for Utah Royals vs Chicago Stars: Over 2.5 goals at full-time.
