Washington Spirit W form and stats

Washington Spirit W's struggle is real here at Audi Field with only 5 points collected from 6 NWSL games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-3. All in all it has been a very rough period for days ago.

Washington Spirit W's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Kansas City (placed 7th). Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Alexander for missing a penalty kick versus Kansas City in the 90th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

Prior to that, an away loss at San Diego Wave W.

Washington are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 6 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Washington Spirit W defense is not exactly impregnable. 9 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Orlando Pride form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most conceded goals (26) in NWSL, on their NWSL travels is 2 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Orlando Pride's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Orlando won their last game, 1-0 versus Houston Dash W played at home. Yippee; their first win in the league after six games not winning.

A draw for Orlando Pride before that, at their own venue hosting Racing Louisville (2-2).

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Orlando Pride as they have only managed to score 3 times from 5 away games in the league. Orlando are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 3 goals in these matches.
