Orlando By The Numbers: Chioma Ubogagu leads the Pride with four goals scored, including one of those being against Chicago, she is also tied for second in the league for goals scored. Goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris is fifth in the league with 26 saves and she also has three shutouts similar to Naeher. Christine Nairn leads the team with three assists and is in a fifth way tie for first in the league. Ali Krieger is third in the league with ten blocks and Shelina Zardorsky leads the Pride with 48 clearances.
Orlando is coming off of a quick turnaround after playing a midweek game against undefeated North Carolina. Their were a total of seven goals scored in the match and Orlando had three of them. The two teams traded back and fourth with the lead until finally in the 93rd minute, Jessica McDonald scored to give North Carolina all three points. This game was an important one for Orlando and even with all of the goals scored, they weren't able to contain the reigning NWSL Shield Winners.
Orlando Pride: The Pride are tied with points with the Red Stars but have managed to stay ahead in 4th place. Orlando has an overall record of 3-3-3 and a record of 2-2-1 away. With the amount of highly talented players the Pride have, people are shocked that they haven't been able to win more games. It was shown just the other day in a match up against the North Carolina Courage that the Pride's biggest problem is their inconsistency in the defense.
Chicago By The Numbers: Naeher is second in the league with a total of 31 saves. She has also allowed 11 goals and had three shutouts. Alyssa Mautz and Sofia Huerta are tied for third in the league for goals scored with each having three. Danny Colaprico is second in the league for 24 chances created and leads the Red Stars with touches on the ball.
Chicago is coming off a close 0-0 draw with Seattle Reign FC. With this being said, the defenses were on both sides were stellar during this game. Alyssa Naeher made a total of four saves and the defense had a total of 26 clearances. The Red Stars also had a total of 11 shots with four of them being on goal.
Chicago Red Stars: The Red Stars have a record of 2-2-5 which lands them just outside of the playoff spot in fifth place. It hasn't been the easiest for the Red Stars to find their groove with a lot of their key players being missing from injuries. With most of those players returning to the field, like Julie Ertz who was missing from the last meeting, the Red Stars could be finding their way back into playoff contention.
This meeting will be the second one of the season for the two teams. The last time they met was in a mid week match-up with the Orlando Pride earning their first win in franchise history over the Chicago Red Stars. The Pride won 2-0 with goals from Chioma Ubogagu and Rachel Hill.
