The Orlando Pride look to try and stay near the top of the NWSL standings when they visit Bay FC on Friday night. The Pride have been playing with excellent force over the past couple of matches, and are certainly looking like a contender to win the league championship for a second year in a row. Following a 1-0 win over the Houston Dash last Saturday, Orlando has won back-to-back matches, and has gone unbeaten in two of its last three league contests. Their only blemishes in recent weeks have come with losses to the Portland Thorns and league-leading Kansas City Current. Bay FC also has a recent loss at the hands of the Current, but has responded with points in three consecutive matches, including a 1-0 win on home soil over the Thorns last Saturday. The Pride currently sit second in the NWSL, five points back of the Current. Bay is hanging onto the eighth and final playoff spot in the league, trying to fend off Angel City.
