Welcome to your match thread for today’s match-up between the Orlando Pride (10-6-6, 36 points) and the Portland Thorns (13-5-4, 43 points). This is the second of the two scheduled meetings between the two sides this season and the Pride’s home finale for 2017 unless they reach the NWSL final.
If Orlando wins, the Pride clinch an NWSL playoff berth. A draw would make things a little more precarious but Orlando owns a significant goal differential advantage over the Seattle Reign FC, which must win out.
Orlando is 0-3-0 in the all-time series against the Thorns, after falling 2-0 in the season opener back in April in Portland.
