Top games to watch on matchday eight in the NWSL
Houston Dash vs Kansas City Current: It has been a rough start to the 2024 NWSL season for Houston Dash, who have won just one match so far and will come into their upcoming clash against Kansas City Current on a three game winless streak. By contrast, the Current have been in flying form, with wins in four of their last five games seeing them on top of the table. However, given the fact that they are not in action until Sunday, the current league leaders could find themselves knocked off their perch if others such as Washington Spirit win their games played earlier this round.

Orlando Pride vs Racing Louisville: After an initial wobbly start, Orlando Pride seem to have started to kick into another gear. Four wins from their last four matches have helped them hurtle up the table, and they will come into their match against Racing Louisville sitting in third spot. Depending on how matches go for current league leaders Kansas City Current and Washington Spirit, the Pride could move up to top spot in the table if they can beat a Racing Louisville side who have won just one of their last five matches.
