Gotham team news

Gotham enter the match aiming to recover form at home after a disappointing draw against Chicago last week, where several key starters showed signs of rust following a month-long league break. The return of international players - highlighted by recent EURO 2025 champion Jess Carter and Copa América Femenina winner GabiPortilho - is expected to bolster their lineup and add much-needed sharpness to the squad's defensive and midfield structure.

Washington Spirit team news

Washington Spirit, meanwhile, come into this fixture with stronger recent form and a history of success in this head-to-head. They have won their last two matchups against Gotham, including a 2-0 away victory earlier in the season, and their solid away record has contributed to their rise up the table.

Spirit’s attacking play often revolves around star winger Trinity Rodman, who missed the previous Gotham meeting but is likely to return. Their defense, anchored by keeper Aubrey Kingsbury, has also been a consistent strength.
