The Tempo will be without Julie Allemand, Temi Fagbenle, and Isabelle Harrison.
Sky vs Tempo Prediction
The Sky have had issues at home dating back to last season. The Sky also remains the most banged-up team in the league, and that includes seeing Jaquez out for this game. It seems the Sky lose a player every time they play. The Tempo has covered 4 of their last 6 games, and they’ve had success on the road through 4 games. I just can’t lay points with the Sky given how many key players they’re without. It wouldn’t be shocking to see the Tempo win this game outright. Give me the points.
