Overview

  • The teams are separated by one point in the table, with Orlando at 39 points (11-8-6) and Seattle at 38 (10-7-8).
  • Kickoff is 5 p.m. ET at Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando, with streaming on NWSL+.
  • Both clubs return from an international break that pulled players away, with 12 Reign call-ups and six for the Pride raising lineup questions.
  • Orlando remains without top scorer Barbra Banda due to a season-ending hip injury, increasing reliance on captain Marta, who has scored in her past two appearances.
  • Seattle leans on Jess Fishlock and rookie Maddie Dahlien in a transition-focused approach, facing an Orlando side strong in possession, crosses, and set pieces.
