Chicago Sky vs Connecticut Sun prediction & game preview - September 10, 2023 | WNBA

The Chicago Sky and the Connecticut Sun are headed into the WNBA Playoffs. With the playoffs only a few days away, both teams will have a chance to face off against each other one more time in the regular season.

While the final results of their upcoming game will not affect the playoff picture in any way, it will still be an important matchup as either team will look to begin post-season action with some much-needed momentum.

The Chicago Sky currently holds a 17-22 record, which is only good enough for the lowest seed, while the Connecticut Sun are the third-seeded team with a 27-12 record.

Despite both teams already being a lock for the playoffs, fans should not expect either to take their upcoming game lightly.

Chicago Sky vs. Connecticut Sun prediction

The Connecticut Sun are likely the favorites to win despite coming in as the road team for their Sept. 10 matchup. They seem pretty comfortable playing the role of villains, as they hold a 14-6 record when playing on an opponent's court.

The Chicago Sky, on the other hand, have failed to defend their home turf as they only hold a 7-13 record when playing in front of their fans.

Furthermore, Chicago has yet to beat Connecticut this season. In their previous matchups, Connecticut has come away with the victory, and both teams will be playing at their best for different reasons. One team to avoid the sweep, and the other to secure it.

Connecticut also has a better roster than Chicago, which is easily reflected by both teams' records. Due to these factors, there is no reason to think the upcoming matchup will end differently than the previous three.

However, an upset can come from anywhere in basketball, so Connecticut will not let its guard down as Chicago attempts to stun them.
