Washington Spirit
- Washington Spirit sit 2nd in the NWSL 2026 standings with 37 points from 20 games.
- A run of two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five matches has not been a great period for Washington Spirit (W), but it is Orlando Pride (W) who arrive as clear underdogs for this game.
- Adrián González has the Spirit pressing high and playing with patience in the build-up, while they can adapt to both 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 systems to create overloads in the centre.
- Trinity Rodman has been finishing in blazing form for the hosts, scoring three of their six goals in the last five, but the threat comes from all areas with Leicy Santos and R. Kouassi making the team a threat to overpower teams on the counter.
Orlando Pride
- Orlando Pride are all the way down in 12th with 23 points from 20 matches.
- The visitors have lost four of their last five games and are on a current three-game losing streak.
- Orlando's 2-1 defeat at Portland Thorns and 3-1 loss to Racing Louisville in their last two outings, respectively, show the team that Seb Hines has set up to defend in numbers and hit teams on the break.
- Marta plays a fluid role that is part of their attacking structure and can get onto the ball quickly in the attacking half to get the ball wide and make things happen in transition.

Betting Insights
- We think the hosts should have the edge in this one as they look to continue their title chase and, although the visitors have the potential to make this a very tricky game, we will take Washington Spirit to edge it at 1.64.
- A two goal game looks about right for this NWSL 2026 clash as under 2.5 goals looks a fit at 1.97 and we will include both teams to score in the bet at 1.7 to slightly increase the odds on the selection, although Washington Spirit have only conceded nine goals in nine home games in NWSL 2026.
Prediction
Back Washington Spirit to edge it at 1.64 .
