Seattle Reign: Defensive Revival and Home Momentum
Rebuilt backline featuring rookies Emily Mason, Madison Curry, and U-18 standout Jordyn Bugg. Midfield engine Jess Fishlock and forward Jordyn Huitema lead the attack. Strong home form: unbeaten in last 4 matches at Lumen Field. Coming off a 2–1 road win over North Carolina Courage.
After a disappointing 2024 season, Seattle has bounced back with a more balanced squad. Head coach Laura Harvey has leaned on youth and tactical flexibility, with Bugg’s recent wonder goal and Curry’s consistency anchoring the defense.
Angel City FC: Grit, Speed, and Tactical Adjustments
Star winger Alyssa Thompson remains a constant threat on the left flank. Veteran defender Sarah Gorden leads a backline featuring rising stars Gisele Thompson and Savy King. Midfield reshaped with Alanna Kennedy, Macey Hodge, and Julie Dufour. Winless in last 3 matches but earned draws against San Diego and Portland. Angel City’s interim head coach Sam Laity, a former Reign assistant, knows Seattle’s system well. The team has added international flair and youthful energy but struggles with finishing and defensive lapses have cost them points.

Seattle’s midfield trio of Fishlock, Quinn, and Lavelle (if fit) can dominate possession
Angel City relies on counterattacks and wide play, especially through Alyssa Thompson
