Angel City W form and stats

4-2-3 (win-draw-lost) are the NWSL numbers at home for Angel City W so far this season.

Stress levels are on the rise for Angel City W's attacking players as they have now played 221 minutes without scoring in a league game. Charley was their last goal scorer.

No payout for Angel in their previous match, an away game at San Diego Wave W that ended in defeat 0-1. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at McCaskill for missing a penalty kick versus San Diego Wave W in the 74th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting North Carolina Courage W (0-1).

The match schedule is unforgiving for Angel City W as they have a new game in only four days, a NWSL match thankfully also at home. Racing Louisville are visiting.

Sanchez and McKeown scored in Washington Spirit W's previous match, the home game against Sky Blue W that ended 2-0.

A home win before that, celebrating 4-3 vs San Diego Wave W.
