Portland Thorns welcome Orlando Pride on Sunday, Aug 16 at 2:45 AM in a National Women's Soccer League fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.
Portland Thorns come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Orlando Pride travel in mixed form (2W 2D 1L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
History strongly favours Portland Thorns here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Orlando Pride, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Portland Thorns won 0–1.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Portland Thorns a slight edge, but Orlando Pride are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
