Friday night is also โOrlando Pride Eras Nightโ where Orlando fans can buy merchandise themed after Taylor Swiftโs Eras Tour.
The two teams last met on July 6 at CPKC Stadium where the Pride emerged with a 2-1 victory. The match was highly contested, featuring 29 total fouls and seven yellow cards between the two teams.
With just seven matches remaining in the NWSL regular season, the Current have an opportunity to secure a spot in the postseason this week by first beating Orlando, then, either the North Carolina Courage has to get a win or draw against Bay FC Saturday or NJ/NY Gotham has to beat or tie the Seattle Reign Monday plus, Chicago needs to win or tie at the Portland Thorns Friday night or Racing Louisville needs to have a win/draw against Angel City Saturday.
KC Current currently stands in third place and after visiting first-place Orlando Friday, KC will host second-place Washington Spirit at CPKC Stadium on Sept. 20.
