The NWSL season is winding down, and the playoff race is heating up as teams vie for coveted berths in the postseason. Angel City Football Club is on the outside looking in, currently in 10th place with two consecutive home games to help their playoff chances. However, they will face a tough challenge against the Portland Thorns, who are looking to end a four-game losing streak and secure their own playoff spot.
Angel City coach Becki Tweed stressed the importance of focusing on one game at a time and picking up crucial three points in every match. The team is feeling the pressure to perform after dropping points in their last two games, but they are determined to turn things around and make a push for the playoffs.
The Thorns, led by USWNT star Sophia Smith, will be a formidable opponent for Angel City. The team knows they must limit Smith’s impact and dictate the momentum of the game to come away with a crucial win at home.
With just six weeks left in the season, every point matters for Angel City. They are aware of the challenges ahead but are committed to growing, grinding, and finding ways to secure results in order to keep their playoff hopes alive.
The matchup between Angel City FC and the Portland Thorns is set to take place on Monday at BMO Stadium, with the game broadcast on Bally Sports SoCal and CBSSN. It promises to be a pivotal clash as both teams look to make their mark in the final stretch of the season.
