Match Storylines
Orlando Pride Aim to Extend Dominance Over Royals
The Orlando Pride (8W-4D-1L, 25 points) return home riding a wave of momentum and looking to continue their perfect record against Utah Royals since the Royals rejoined the NWSL in 2024. Orlando has won all three recent meetings by a combined score of 10-1, including a 6-0 blowout win last season—one of the largest margins in league history. Barbra Banda has been unstoppable against Utah, scoring five goals in two matches, and she’ll look to join Sam Kerr as the only player to score multiple goals in three straight matches against a single opponent.
Utah Royals Still Searching for Identity
The Utah Royals FC (1W-10L-2D, 5 points) are in a rebuilding phase and have struggled to find consistency. They’ve lost seven of their last eight matches and have yet to win on the road this season. Defender Maddie Pogarch provides leadership, but the team’s young core is still developing chemistry.
Utah’s last visit to Orlando ended in a 6-0 defeat, and they’ll need a massive defensive effort to avoid a repeat performance.
