Key Matchup
The Valkyries’ three-point shooting prowess will be tested against the Storm’s defense. Seattle’s ability to control the perimeter and limit Golden State’s long-range opportunities will be crucial. Conversely, the Valkyries will aim to exploit any defensive lapses by the Storm to capitalize on open shots.

Storm vs. Valkyries WNBA Betting Prediction
Given the Storm’s current form and the Valkyries’ defensive vulnerabilities, Seattle is favored to win. The matchup predictor gives the Storm a 62.7% chance of victory.
