The first-place Kansas City Current are riding a five-match winning streak and remain unbeaten at home in 2025. Meanwhile, Angel City FC, sitting 10th in the standings, are looking to snap a four-game winless run and regain momentum before the NWSL’s summer break. This is a classic clash of firepower versus resilience, with Kansas City boasting the league’s most explosive offense and Angel City leaning on emerging rookie talent.
