Welcome to your match thread as the Orlando Pride take on Utah Royals FC in Orlando City Stadium. The Pride (0-2-1, 1 point) are coming off their first draw of the season, while Utah (1-0-0, 3 points) won its sole game of the season last week. This is the first of three scheduled meetings between the teams this season, with the Pride visiting Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday, May 25 and the Royals returning to Orlando on Aug. 17.
The Pride had a difficult start to the season where they played three games in eight days against three 2018 playoff teams.
