Chicago Sky
Washington Mystics
The regular championship of the women's NBA is nearing completion, but the top eight are not yet determined. Dailysports experts have prepared their prediction for the confrontation between Chicago Sky and Washington Mystics.
Chicago Sky
The current season is going hard for Chicago, the team won only 13 meetings out of 35. With these results, the club occupies the eighth line in the standings. The gap from the nearest competitor is one win, while there is one game in reserve.
In the last match Sky defeated Dallas Wings on their parquet with a score of 92:77, this victory was the second straight for the team. While the club is still in the playoff zone, but it is still worth keeping this position behind them. Despite recent successes, Chicago can not boast stability in the results.
Washington Mystics
Things are not going well for Washington, which is in tenth place in the regular season, two wins behind the desired eight, with only five meetings left to catch up with the rival.
In the last meeting, the Mystics lost on their parquet to one of the leaders Minnesota Lynx - 71:78. Prior to this defeat, the team had a good stretch, when they managed to win 5 wins in 6 contests. The upcoming game could be largely decisive, because a win will leave the team in the fight for the playoffs, and a loss will almost deprive the team of chances for the top eight.
Interesting facts about the match and history of head-to-head meetings
- The opponents crossed paths three times this season, so far the score is 2:1 in favor of Washington.

Chicago Sky vs Washington Mystics Prediction
We are expecting a confrontation of direct competitors, Chicago was initially considered the favorite, but now the chances of the clubs are almost equal. It is difficult to favor someone in such a match, the result will be in first place, so I will bet on a total of less than 161 points.
