OL Reign vs. Orlando Pride: Gamethread and updates

7 PM PT. Twitch. Watch with us.

Today marks the final regular-season match for OL Reign, with playoff seeding on the line when OL Reign hosts the Orlando Pride. The match at Lumen Field kicks off at 7 PM PT and will stream exclusively on Twitch (search NWSLOfficial).

OL Reign goes into the weekend in second place with a 10-4-7 record (29 goals for, 19 against). The Orlando Pride are in 9th with a 5-9-7 record (22 goals for, 42 against).

After today, OL Reign could finish as high as first place or as low as third — depending on how Portland and Kansas City do in their matches this afternoon, and how OL Reign performs at home. A top-two finish guarantees OL Reign a first-round bye in the playoffs and a home semifinal match.

What to Watch

  • Early pressure: Orlando likes to build out of the back. Can OL Reign’s press cause some early disruptions — and can the Reign put a goal in the back of the net early?
  • Feed off the crowd: This year’s OL Reign squad perform well under pressure. In what should be a standalone attendance record for the club, can they feed off the crowd’s energy? Let’s have some fun.
  • Defensive organization: The Pride have some fast forwards who aren’t afraid to go into duels. Can OL Reign stay organized defensively and earn another clean sheet?
