After the Portland Thorns and Racing Louisville played a heated, intense, but thrilling 3-3 draw in April, the teams are finally facing off against each other again.

Every week I speak with the local reporters and journalists to preview the incoming match for the Portland Thorns, and this week we are joined by my friend and colleague, Bekki Morgan.

She covers Racing Louisville on the Butchertown Rundown Podcast and the league with the NWSL This Week Podcast - you can also find her bylines in The Equalizer.

Bekki discusses how Racing Louisville has put them in a prime position to make the playoffs for the first time, Emma Sears’ rising stardom, Taylor Flint’s absence, Bev Yanez's impact as coach, match preview, and much more.
