This weekend, the Orlando Pride will continue their road trip as they head to New Jersey to take on Sky Blue FC. Ranked second in the NWSL, the New Jersey side will pose another interesting challenge for the Orlando Pride. Here is a breakdown of Sky Blue FC:
Recent Matches
Sky Blue has played back-to-back matches against the Houston Dash and they have won both of those matches. They are 3-2 in their last five games, but the two losses were close-- they lost on the road against the Washington Spirit 4-3 and against a rising Boston Breakers 1-0. Overall, they are 3-2-1 on the season.
Who’s Hot
Sarah Killion leads the league with five goals on the season, and she scored in the last three for Sky Blue. Raquel Rodriguez has two goals on the season, including the game-winning goal against Houston last weekend.
