Welcome to your match thread for tonight’s match-up between the Orlando Pride (10-6-7, 37 points) and the North Carolina Courage (16-6-1, 49 points). This is the third of three scheduled meetings between the two sides this season and the regular season finale for both clubs. The Courage have already locked up the Supporters Shield and the Pride are in the playoffs but don’t yet know if they’ll be back at North Carolina next week or at Portland.
Orlando is 2-2-0 against the Western New York Flash/North Carolina Courage franchise, which relocated after winning the 2016 NWSL championship.
