Chicago Sky vs New York Liberty Prediction and WNBA Odds: Recent Form
The Chicago Sky have all the momentum and confidence coming into this season as the defending champions. But the start of the season has been kind of a bummer as the side lost to Wings and Fever convincingly in the preseason games. This hasn’t gone well with them as the side struggled to put up a strong performance in their season opener against Los Angeles Sparks. Despite going to the extra time, Sky lost by a margin of 91-98.
On the other hand, the New York Liberty have the underdog tag coming into the season after the side struggled to get out of first round games in the last season. But they seemed to have turned the corner with decent performances in the preseason game. In their first game against Connecticut Sun, they opened their account in a closely fought battle where both the sides outfoxed each other in two quarters apiece. This meant that they have occupied 3rd place in the table.
