OL Reign plays their third NWSL Fall Series match against the Portland Thorns today. The game against their Cascadia rivals kicks off at 5 PM PT and will stream exclusively on Twitch.

Portland got the better of the Reign 10 days ago, but the Tacoma side are now well rested and had plenty of time to learn from their mistakes. They’ll need to be a lot sharper in their passing and do more to disrupt Portland’s midfield.

What to Watch

• Create and finish chances early
• Control the possession
• Disrupt the midfield
