The Portland Thorns W are gearing up for the regular season stage of the 2026 NWSL, and their recent form has been a mixed bag. After 17 games, they sit fifth in the standings with 28 points, a decent but not spectacular tally. A closer look at their last five matches reveals some interesting trends. Their 2-2 draw against Gotham FC W was a hard-fought encounter, with the Thorns W showing resilience in the face of adversity. However, their subsequent losses to Denver Summit W and Seattle Reign W have been a cause for concern. The 2-1 defeat at the hands of Denver Summit W was particularly disappointing, as the Thorns W were expected to come out on top.

The Thorns W have also been in action in friendly matches, most recently against San Diego Wave W. While they ultimately lost 3-4, this game has given them valuable experience and allowed them to fine-tune their tactics. As they prepare for the regular season, they'll be looking to build on their strengths and address their weaknesses. The Utah Royals W, their opponents in the upcoming match, have been a consistent presence in the NWSL. With a strong squad and a solid team dynamic, they'll be a tough nut to crack for the Thorns W.
