Scouting report: Los Angeles Sol at Chicago Red Stars

Los Angeles Sol at Chicago Red Stars

When: 5 p.m., Toyota Park

TV: Fox Soccer Channel

Scouting the Los Angeles Sol: Naperville native Brittany Bock returns as part of the first-place Sol's league-best defense. Offensively, the Sol (11-2-5, 38 points) boasts Brazilian sensation Marta, the league's leading scorer, and Camille Abily, No. 2 in the league.

Scouting the Red Stars: The last home game of the season could be the best attended, but the Red Stars (4-9-5, 17 points) will have little to play for. Her team eliminated from the playoffs by last week's loss, coach Emma Hayes is looking to next year and planning changes.

Next game: Wednesday at St. Louis Athletica.
