My Prediction
Orlando Pride by 1Talk about a riveting showdown on the horizon as we see Racing Louisville standing toe to toe with Orlando Pride. And let me tell you, it's going to be like watching a fanny pack wrestle with a Gucci bag.
Between the posts, we've got Anna Moorhouse for Orlando Pride, sitting pretty on a 7.53 rating and a lovely dozen saves. She's only outdone by Louisville's Jordyn Bloomer, whose rating of 7.20 comes with an exciting tally of 14 saves. It's like your worst enemy getting one extra piece of cake at a party.
On the field, Orlando Pride's not messing around. They've got the irrepressible Barbara Banda with her consistent 7.83 rating and enviable tally of 4 goals and 10 shots on target. Then there's Kylie Nadaner and Emily Sams with rock-solid ratings of 7.50 and 7.40 respectively, and their pass accuracy is better than my accuracy predicting long weekend weather.
Now, over on team Racing Louisville, their top brass ain't too shabby either. Janine Beckie and Taylor Flint are doing all the heavy lifting tying their shoelaces and scoring goals. Beckie posts a solid 7.60 rating with a goal and Flint follows closely with a 7.37 rating and also a goal. They've essentially been running around, being very busy, and getting into good scrapes.
Historically, these two teams have been like kids on a see-saw, up and down, but we've seen Orlando Pride with a slight edge over Louisville in their outings. Most recent regular-season records further this narrative with Orlando Pride posting 8 wins against Louisville's 5.
In their recent outings, Orlando seems to be like my promise to start a diet - mostly consistent, with a minor hiccup. They've managed to keep their heads above water, chalking up some impressive wins. Racing Louisville, on the other hand, have shown us a bag of mixed nuts, just like my aunt at family reunions.
So, if you asked me "Albert, who's walking out a winner?" I'd go with my gut, which, mind you, has been right about the result of every taco I've ever eaten.
