Seattle Storm vs. Golden State Valkyries predictions

This game between Seattle and Golden State is a tough one to call, given their similar form. Both teams share a similar rank in the standings, and the Valkyries have beaten the Storm earlier this season.

However, the Seattle Storm should have enough firepower to avenge their loss earlier this month and create some distance between them in the standings.
