Interesting split—away defense outperforming home is unusual. Do you think it's tactical (sitting deeper on the road) or just variance in the sample?
In the NWSL, away defense outperforming home is likely variance in the sample given the smaller sample size of away games. However, the Portland Thorns' ability to limit away goals (0.6 per away game) suggests they may be employing a more conservative approach on the road.
