Orlando Pride’s Impressive Form

Orlando Pride secured a convincing 3-0 victory at Chicago on Wednesday night, matching the largest margin of victory in a regular-season road match in team history. Since the beginning of 2024, the Pride have amassed 51 away points with 15 wins and six draws. Their six road defeats during that span are tied for the fewest in the NWSL.

Forward Barbra Banda is off to an exceptional start, scoring in each of her first three appearances this season. She aims to join Alex Morgan as the only player in NWSL history to score in her first four appearances of a season, a feat Morgan achieved with the Pride in 2021.

Coach’s Insight

“Should be a great game with both teams going after it. I’m sure Gotham will want to come out and get something out of the game following their last result, but so do we. It’s a quick turnaround with the travel and all of that, but it’s nothing we’re not used to. We’ll be up for the match and want to continue this momentum and keep stacking wins and come out with three points.”

– Head Coach Seb Hines
