The Story:
- Friday night’s showdown will be the second and final meeting between the Pride and Gotham FC. The Pride shut out Gotham en route to a 2-0 road victory in the sides’ first meeting back in March.
- Friday night will also mark the last game in NWSL regular season play for the Pride until September 7th, as Orlando will kick off its 2025-26 Concacaf W Champions Cup campaign next Tuesday against L.D. Alajuelense.
- With the home record in the all-time series even between the two sides, the Pride will look to gain the edge with a win on Friday night.
Quote of the Week:
“It’s two competitive teams [Pride & Gotham FC] that are looking to rekindle their form. Starting with us, we want to put on a show for our fans. It’s been a while since we played in front of them. It’s been a while since we got three points and we’re looking to change that this Friday against Gotham.”
- Head Coach Seb Hines
