Chicago Red Stars at Sky Blue FC
When: 5 p.m. Sunday at Yurcak Field at Rutgers University, N.J.
TV: Fox Soccer Channel
Scouting the Red Stars: There are a lot of new faces, but some familiar ones also, such as Cristiane, who once again will be counted on to lead the team in scoring. The team hopes fellow Brazilian Formiga still can be a playmaker at age 32.
Scouting Sky Blue FC: Defending WPS champion Sky Blue is feeling blue after losing goalkeeper Jenni Branam to a knee injury this week. Couple that with the absence of central defenders Christie Rampone (maternity leave) and Anita Asante (knee) and it could be a good game for Cristiane.
Next game: home Saturday vs. St. Louis Athletica at Toyota Park
