Gotham (home)
- Gotham can extend their lead at the summit when they face Seattle Reign on Sunday, who enter the matchup in eighth place.
- Gotham have 61 points from 30 games, Reign have 47.
- Juan Carlos Amoros' Gotham have been in good nick of late, winning 3, drawing 1 and losing 1 in their last 5 games.
- Their two most recent results were a 2-1 win away at Orlando Pride followed by a 2-0 victory at home to Utah Royals.
Reign (away)
- Their most recent 3 games were a 3-1 away win over Chicago Stars, a 0-0 draw away to Utah Royals and a 1-0 home win over Orlando Pride.
- On the road in the NWSL 2026, Reign have won 5, drawn 3 and lost 7 of their 15 games, so there is not much of an away advantage for Laura Harvey's side here.
Head-to-Head
- Gotham have won two and drawn three of the last five H2H matches, with Reign yet to win in any of the previous 5 meetings.
- Reign are yet to secure a win against Gotham, who also claimed a 3-2 home victory when they last met just 3 months ago.
- Reign have failed to win any of their previous 3 trips to Gotham, a sequence they would like to end on Sunday.
Key Players
- Gotham are a high-pressing 4-3-1 team that are built around controlling the ball and making vertical runs on the break.
- Reign have scored 1.33 goals per game on the road in NWSL 2026, but they have also conceded 1.53, which may be an issue here.
- Gotham have the best defensive record at home in NWSL 2026, conceding just 9 goals at an average of 0.60 per game.
- Gotham's Jaedyn Shaw has been their sparkplug in recent games, scoring 4 of Gotham's 8 goals in their last 5 matches and is probably their best player with an edge in the final third.
Betting Insights
- Gotham are the clear favorites at 1.72, with Reign the underdogs at 4.53 and the draw priced at 3.5.
- Reign's Jessica Fishlock has also been in fine form, contributing 2 of Reign's 6 goals in the last 5 games, but Gotham should have the edge in New Jersey, where they are strong favourites.
Prediction
Under 2.5 goals at 1.74 appeals and both teams to score no at 1.8 looks good in what could be another tight matchup between these two clubs.
