Portland Thorns FC is back in action with a road match against the Orlando Pride. It is the third time that these two teams have met this season, with the season series split up to this point. The last time these two teams played, it was the Thorns who came out on top with a 2-1 victory on July 18.
Orlando’s pride (Get it? Pride? Like, you know ... I’ll show myself out) shouldn’t have been stung too badly by the loss. The table-leading thorns are just on a roll right now, earning 16 of a possible 18 points in their last six matches.
