Coming off a midweek win against Alianza Women FC in El Salvador, NJ/NY Gotham FC will return to NWSL play as they host Angel City FC. This is the second and final meeting between the two in the regular season, with the first meeting having seen arguably Gotham's best win of the year by a score of 4-0 in Los Angeles. The NJ/NY side enters this game just one spot above the California team. The teams are eighth and ninth, respectively, and just one point ahead of Angel City.
For Gotham, as was the case last week and probably will be again next week, this is the biggest game of the season for them.
