Welcome to your match thread as the Orlando Pride face the Washington Spirit for the second time this season. The Pride (5-3-4) come into this game in a tie for second place in the NWSL with 19 points, but Seattle has the tie-breaker through goal differential. Washington (2-7-4), on the other hand, is second from the bottom of the table with just 10 points through 13 games.
Washington has the edge in the series, going 3-1-2, in the six meetings. largely because of the Spirit winning both head-to-head games in 2016. Orlando’s only win against the Spirit came back on Aug.
