Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the WNBA match.
Before the All-Star Game, the Los Angeles Sparks delivered a commanding home win over the Washington Mystics (99:80). Now, the teams meet again, this time in Washington, where the hosts have historically shown stronger performances.
Washington Mystics
The Washington Mystics are currently enjoying a strong run at home, having secured seven wins in their last ten outings. They are also on a four-game winning streak, which includes a notable 68:64 triumph over league leaders the Minnesota Lynx. Key players for the team include Brittney Sykes, Sonia Citron, and Kiki Iriafen, each averaging over 10 points per game and all of whom featured in the All-Star Game.
Los Angeles Sparks
The Los Angeles Sparks entered the break on a positive note with three wins from their last four games. However, over the course of the season, they remain near the bottom of the standings, currently placed 10th out of 13. The break may have disrupted their rhythm, and their away form has been disappointing. Historically, the Sparks have struggled in Washington, losing seven of their last ten encounters in the capital.
Washington Mystics vs Los Angeles Sparks Prediction
Considering the strong home form of the Washington Mystics and the away struggles of the Los Angeles Sparks, a home win looks the most probable outcome.
