The Orlando Pride (15-0-6, 51 points) are set to welcome the Houston Dash (4-12-5, 17 points) for their 2024 NWSL regular season clash this Saturday at Inter&Co Stadium.
The Pride are on the verge of making history, having gone unbeaten through their first 21 matches this season. With just nine points needed to claim the NWSL Shield, and no external help required, the team is focused on sealing the top spot. A playoff berth is already in the bag, but staying undefeated and securing the No. 1 seed remains the clear goal.
On the other hand, Houston finds itself near the foot of the table, sitting second to last. With an eight-point gap to a playoff position, the Dash is nearing must-win territory to keep their hopes alive.

Team news & squads
Orlando Pride team news
Orlando's defense has been rock-solid all season and continues to strengthen as the campaign progresses. The Pride secured their fifth straight clean sheet in a narrow 1-0 win over Bay FC last weekend and are expected to maintain that defensive form against the Dash, who have only managed 14 goals in 21 matches.
Up front, Barbra Banda found the net again, bringing her season tally to 13 and matching the franchise record for most goals in a single season. Another goal would see her surpass Marta and claim the record outright.
Orlando Pride possible XI: Moorhouse; Abello, Strom, Sams, Pickett; Angelina, McCutcheon; Doyle, Marta, Adriana; Banda

|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Moorhouse, Manner, Crone |
