My Prediction
Angel City FC by 2Ladies and Gents, coming at you with the rundown for the match between Angel City FC and Utah Royals FC. Now, this is a little bit of a showdown!
Between the pipes for Utah Royals FC, we've got Mandy McGlynn, holding her own with a 6.92 rating and making enough saves to keep her team in it. Angel City FC, on the other hand, has Angelina Anderson; a respectable shot stopper, though her performance rating of 6.23 comes in under McGlynn's stat line.
Utah Royals FC has some notable contenders: Ally Sentnor with a runaway 7.23 rating, in spite of only one goal, and Nuria Rábano clearly gets the passing memo with a lurid 90.5% pass accuracy, even if she hasn't found the net yet. Claudia Zornoza must also be commended when it comes to the passing game. It's a shame they aren't scoring, but when it comes to playing hot potato, they've got it down.
Over at Angel City FC we have the likes of Riley Tiernan and Alyssa Thompson shining bright with ratings at 7.87 each - stellar by any standards. Tiernan, in particular, is a scoring machine with 4 goals and looks like an early bird getting the goal worm. Jokes aside, Thompson's passing accuracy is impressive too.
Taking a trip down memory lane, these teams seem well-matched, each taking a win in their two historical matchups.
As for their season records, they’re a bit all over the place. Utah Royals FC with a rather uninspiring 1-1-5 vs Angel City FC's less tragic though not altogether inspiring 3-2-2.
Considering recent form, Utah Royals seem to be having a spot of bother, with more L's than they'd like. Angel City, on the flip side, seems to be making hay while the sun shines, with a few more W's under their belt.
Doing some manic math and putting my neck on the line, I give you this:
