After over a month of the NWSL break, league play is back! NJ/NY Gotham FC and the rest of the teams will restart play this weekend. For the Bats, the second half of the season will be critical since they desperately need to climb the table. They currently sit in eighth place, which is the last playoff spot. Moreover, for some unknown reason, the team did not play any friendlies during the break.
As such, Gotham FC will have a tall task ahead of them as they resume play with a road match against Chicago Fire Stars FC.
