WNBA Match Preview: Chicago Sky vs Phoenix Mercury

The upcoming WNBA match between the Chicago Sky and the Phoenix Mercury promises to light up the court on Friday, August 16, at 02:00 Central European Time. This year, it has been a rough period for both teams, with the Sky struggling on the defensive end of the field and their opponents dealing with the issue of consistency, especially the away games.

The home team occupies a playoff spot and will look forward to capitalizing on the home soil, where they have lost only one match in four attempts. However, the visiting team, which is led by the prominent player Brittney Griner, is still chasing a slot to the playoffs but has had an issue with the supporting cast. The 2014 champions have not won against their opponents since 2021 and they will look for all ways to register a win.

However, being the favorites and the thirst to overturn the recent losses, the visiting team is likely to triumph in the forthcoming encounter. It will be a closely contested meeting as both teams aim at winning.
