The Golden State Valkyries will welcome the Connecticut Sun at home, Chase Center, on Monday, August 11 for their third meeting of the 2025 WNBA season. In their previous two meetings, both Valkyries and Sun won one game each, and are currently tied at 1-1. The upcoming game gives both the teams a chance to extend their dominance. The Valkyries have had a decent debut campaign so far. Having occupied the eighth spot in the standings, they currently maintain a 15-15 tally.

They won five out of their last ten fixtures, with their most recent win coming over the Los Angeles Sparks. Connecticut, on the other hand, is the worst performing team of this season. It is in the bottom of the standings with only five wins and 25 defeats, and a winning pct of .167. In its last ten games, the Sun has lost eight, and it will enter the clash against the Valkyries on the back of a four-game losing streak.

The tally suggests that the upcoming game is most likely to be a lopsided affair. However, considering the outcomes of previous fixtures between both the teams, nothing can be said right now. Here, let’s get into the injury reports and predicted starting lineups for the Valkyries and the Sun as they gear up for possibly their last meeting of the season.
