The search for a home-field advantage continues on Sunday for Portland Thorns FC.
Locked in a tight battle for one of the four National Women’s Soccer League playoff spots with eight games remaining, the Thorns host second-place FC Kansas City at 4 p.m. at Providence Park.
Kickoff time was shifted to avoid conflict with the World Cup final.

At 6-6-4, Portland is tied for fifth place with Chicago, a team it has tied in two consecutive games.
The Thorns have a losing record at home (3-4-1) where they continue to draw crowds that dwarf the rest of the NWSL.
FC Kansas City comes to Portland on a seven-game winning streak, the latest a 5-0 win a week ago at Sky Blue FC. Amy Rodrigues (10) and Lauren Holiday (7) are among the league leaders in goals and Kansas City’s 30 goals allowed is tied for second fewest in the league.
