Connecticut Sun
Chicago Sky
As part of the WNBA regular season, a match between the Connecticut Sun and the Chicago Sky will take place on the night of Friday, September 20th. The game is scheduled to start at 01:00 Central European Time. The prediction for this match was made by experts at Dailysports.
Connecticut Sun
Connecticut has already addressed their major goals for this season. The team has confidently secured a playoff spot and will want to end the regular season on a high note.
On their home court, Connecticut is a formidable opponent, making them the favorite for this match. However, a loss in this game could jeopardize their third-place standing in the overall standings.
Chicago Sky
Chicago Sky has struggled with consistency this season. They fought until the very end for a playoff spot, but the team appears vulnerable, especially in defense.
Even a win in this game doesn’t guarantee Sky a place in the playoffs. They not only need to win, but also rely on losses from Atlanta and Washington.
Match Facts
- Connecticut Sun have lost their last two games.
- Sky are coming off four consecutive losses.
- Connecticut averages 69 points per game at home, while Chicago averages 69 points per game on the road.
Player to Watch
Chennedy Carter, as the leader of the Chicago Sky, will be trying to give her team the coveted playoff spot. A lot will depend on her performance in this game. She has decent stats this season and certainly doesn’t want to miss the postseason.
Head-to-Head
In their last nine matchups, Sky have managed to beat Connecticut Sun only once, and even that was in overtime.
Prediction
The home team is the clear favorite and should win the final game of the regular season. I suggest betting on a total score of more than 150 points.
